Step 1

Soak the whole duck in the large pot of boiling water. Remove it as soon as the skin changes color.

Step 2

Sprinkle the inside of the duck with sugar, salt, and five-spice powder. Rub the skin of the duck with molasses. Truss the duck with string and hang in an airing place for 2 hours, or put the duck in the refrigerator overnight without any cover. This will dry the skin of the duck so that it will be crispy.

Step 3

Preheat rotisserie oven to 375 degrees and bake for 45 minutes or until the skin is reddish brown.

Step 4

Before serving, pour hot oil over the skin to increase the crispiness. Carve the skin and meat from the duck, and serve.
