Sauce: Simmer orange juice, zest, honey, and vinegar until thickened, then whisk in cold butter. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ CHAPTERS ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 00:00 - Perfectly Crispy Duck (Intro) 01:07 - Prepping the Meat 02:54 - The Cold Pan Secret 03:36 - Collecting "Liquid Gold" Fat 03:49 - Seasoning the Potato Wedges 04:38 - Air Fryer Settings & Timing 05:40 - The Rack Hack (Cooking Together) 06:10 - Internal Temp & Resting Rule 06:20 - Plating the Feast 06:31 - Aegean Orange Sauce Recipe 10:47 - Slicing, Serving & ASMR ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 💬 Tried this recipe?
