Peking duck in tangerine glaze turns out to be very tasty and satisfying. She cooks in the oven. In order for the meat to come out soft, be sure to bake it in foil. An unusual tangerine glaze, which is poured over the meat almost at the end of cooking, gives the duck a special piquancy.

When buying a duck on the market, you should pay close attention to its appearance. The color of the skin should be yellow. This indicates that she is homemade and fed her natural food. Also important is the age of the duck, it must be young. To understand what it is, you should slightly bend the breast, if it is easy, then the duck is young, it is difficult – respectively, old.

The dish is perfect for a New Year’s or Christmas table.
