How to Roast duck thighs

In Asia, duck is a kind of "cold" meat, it means it can help you feel better in a hot day~~~~
So, it's time to do it. This simple dish, I believe anyone can do it, if you have a oven. However, to make  the meat have better flavor, it takes time to marinate.

1. Ingredient
- 2 duck thighs (you can find at wholefood, about $4 each)
- BBQ sauce, I bought from Trader Joe's: Kansas city style BBQ sauce
- Garlic: 2 gloves
- Green onion: 1
- Flour: 1 spoon
- Vegetable: Any you can have, cabbage, potato, squash....: today I use baby squash from farmer market

2. Method
- Clean the duck thighs under water and dry with paper towel

- Put them in a bowl, add BB sauce: 1/2 cup
- Mix well then put in refrigerator before cook 2 hours


- Preheat oven to 380 degree (I use Breville Compact Smart Oven ) at roast setting and cook for 30 mins, skin side up

- Turn the thighs and cook at 350 degree for 15 mins


- While roast duck, you can prepare the sauce and vegetable. If you use potato, it takes more time, I use squash so time for cooking just 5 minutes: slice squash, heat pan with 1 tea spoon of oil, add chopped garlic, than add squash, add salt and black pepper, stir well, add 1/2 cup of water, turn heat to high, close lid and wait 3 minutes, then your side vegetable is done!

- Sauce: add flour to 1/2 cup of water, mix well than add to the small pot with the left marinated sauce, cook well, then add chopped green onion, it's ready for you to add to the meat.


- Finally, turn again, skin side up, add some honey if you want to the skin, cook for another 5 mins.
