Why honey sauce goes well with duck or chicken
Duck and honey sauce is a classic combination for a good reason. The naturally sweet flavour of honey pairs perfectly with the savoury taste of duck, creating a rich and balanced flavour profile. Honey also helps caramelize the fat in duck, creating a crispy texture that pairs nicely with its juicy meat. A honey sauce also adds complexity to dishes like a roasted duck by adding hints of citrus and spice. All in all, the combination of duck and honey sauce creates a delicious dish that can’t be beat!
Honey glazed duck
Honey glazed duck is an indulgent and delicious dish that’s perfect for any occasion. The sweet and sticky honey glaze creates a crispy exterior that contrasts nicely with the juicy, tender meat of the duck. The glaze also helps bring out the natural flavours of the bird while providing a hint of smokiness to each bite.
Serving suggestions
Duck in honey sauce makes a beautiful entrée for a special meal. It pairs perfectly with roasted vegetables and fragrant rice and can also be served over mashed potatoes. For an extra special presentation, serve the duck on a bed of greens with slices of oranges, raisins and walnuts. No matter how you choose to serve it, your guests are sure to be delighted by the flavour and texture of this delicious dish!
