Method
Step 1 of 7
Preheat oven to 220°C. Place wire rack over a roasting pan.
Step 2 of 7
Pat dry skin and cavity of duck, using paper towels. Season generously inside and out with salt and pepper. Fill cavity with half the orange wedges, garlic, thyme and bay leaves. Using a fork, prick skin all over to help release the fat. Place duck on rack, breast-side up. Bake for 30 minutes or until skin starts to brown.
Step 3 of 7
Meanwhile, combine wine, sugar, ginger, vinegar and five spice into a separate roasting pan. Add plums and remaining orange, turning to coat. Set aside for 30 minutes.
Step 4 of 7
Meanwhile, place potato into a large saucepan with salted water. Cover and bring to the boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Step 5 of 7
Remove duck from oven. Place pan with plums into oven and cook for 10 minutes or until just tender.
Step 6 of 7
Carefully transfer duck, on the rack, to pan over plums. Add potato to pan with rendered duck fat. Reduce oven to 200°C. Cook duck, plums and potatoes for 45 minutes or until juices are clear when a skewer is inserted into thickest part of duck and potatoes are golden and crisp. Remove from oven, cover loosely with foil and rest for 15 minutes.
