Creating the perfect Crispy Roast Duck can be easy if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Duck: Remove any excess fat from the duck and pat it dry with paper towels. This helps achieve crispy skin.
2. Season the Duck: Rub the duck inside and out with kosher salt, black pepper, and Chinese five-spice powder. Make sure to get the seasoning into the cavity as well.
3. Stuff the Duck: Place the quartered orange and fresh herbs inside the cavity of the duck.
4. Marinate: In a small bowl, mix the honey, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Brush this mixture over the duck. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
5. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
6. Prepare for Roasting: Remove the duck from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This helps it cook evenly.
7. Roast the Duck: Place the duck on a roasting rack in a roasting pan. Roast for about 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the skin is golden and crispy, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
8. Baste: Halfway through roasting, baste the duck with its own fat to enhance flavor and crispiness.
9. Rest the Duck: Once cooked, remove the duck from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.
10. Carve and Serve: Carve the duck and serve it with your choice of sides.
