Duck with chicken, baked in the oven
15 servings
50 minutes
Roasted duck and chicken is a classic dish of Russian cuisine, infused with the aromas of fruits and spices. Historically, cooking poultry with apples and quince was used to create a harmonious flavor balance between the juiciness of the meat and the sweet-sour notes of the fruits. Duck adds richness to the dish, while chicken provides tenderness. Baking under foil keeps the meat juicy, while final uncovered roasting gives an appetizing golden crust. Perfect for festive gatherings – rich, hearty, and incredibly delicious. Served with fruits that have absorbed the bird's juices, becoming sweet and soft. Pairs wonderfully with a glass of dry red wine or fresh herbs.
