Score the duck skin in a diamond pattern and salt inside and out.
Let the duck stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Heat the oven to 200°C and cook the duck on a wire rack for 60 minutes.
Raise the oven to 220°C and crisp the skin for 15 minutes.
Boil the orange juice, sugar, and grape vinegar for 6 minutes, until syrupy.
Add the chicken broth and cornstarch, and bring the sauce to a glossy texture for 5 minutes.
Work the butter into the sauce, rest the duck for 15 minutes, and slice.
Serve the duck hot with the orange sauce.
💡 Tip: Scoring the skin without cutting into the meat lets the fat render and keeps the breast from drying out.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve on a wide platter with orange slices, arugula, and roasted potatoes.
