Gluten-free Peking duck

When I made this recipe, I did not find a whole duck. But ultimately the lacquered duck thighs offer a good alternative to the traditional entire duck. Their cooking is faster while keeping the flavor of the crisp skin and tender flesh. We found great memories of our stay in Pekin, enjoying this family dish. And of course, it is naturally gluten -free. You can accompany him with gluten -free pebish pancakes .

Ingredients

4 duck legs
2 Tbsp of honey
2 tbsp tamari sauce (gluten-free)
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp sesame oil
2 tbsp grated fresh ginger
2 Tbsp of sugar
1 tsp five-spice
1 clove of crushed garlic
Salt and pepper to taste
Gluten-free rice pancakes
Cucumber, carrots and green onions sticks
gluten-free hoisin sauce (or mix the rest of the marinade with 1 Tbsp of sesame paste)

Preparation

1
Prepare the duck legs: Dry the legs with absorbent paper. Make light cuts in the skin to help cook the fat.
2
Marinade: Mix tamari sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sugar, ginger, garlic, five-spice, salt and pepper. Place the duck legs in a dish and brush them generously with the marinade. Cover and leave to marinate for at least 2 hours, or overnight in the refrigerator.
3
Lacquering: Heat the honey with a little water in a small saucepan to create a syrup. Brush the marinated duck legs with this mixture.
4
Cooking: Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place the duck legs on a rack with a dish underneath to catch any fat that drips out. Cook for about 40 minutes, brushing regularly with the honey mixture and turning the thighs so they brown evenly. You can also cook the duck in the Ninja Foodi, in steam air fry, for 25 minutes, then in air fry for an additional 10 minutes.
5
Serve: Once cooked, serve the glazed duck legs with gluten-free rice pancakes, cucumber sticks, carrots and green onions. You can also serve with a simple salad or sautéed vegetables.
