Ingredients

1 (4 pound) whole duck
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
salt and pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons caraway seeds

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Prepare the duck by washing and patting it dry. Score the breast and legs by making shallow cuts into the skin, being careful not to cut into the meat. Season the cavity and the outside with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper, massaging the spices in. Sprinkle caraway seeds over the duck and into the scored skin. Place the duck on a rack in a roasting pan, breast side up.
Roast the duck in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Turn the duck breast side down and roast for another 15 minutes. Remove the duck from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Turn the duck breast side up again and return it to the oven for 20 minutes. Turn the duck once more, breast side down, and roast for a final 20 minutes. Remove the duck from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.
