Instructions
- Pat duck dry. With a fork, pierce all over the skin. Combine the soy, maple syrup, sesame oil, Chinese five-spice, garlic and ginger in a bowl. Whisk to combine. Place the duck in a large bowl or bag. Add the marinade and rub all over. Let marinate for 1 to 2 days, turning the duck from time to time to make sure all sides are coated.
- Heat an outdoor smoker to 200F. Smoke the duck with your choice of wood (apple, cherry, oak, pecan, etc.) for 4 hours. Brush with a little more maple syrup after 3 hours. Remove from the smoker. Let rest at least 10 minutes. Serve.
