Place the duck on a rack set over a roasting tin and pour around 1/2 cup (125 ml) of water in the tin.
Slide the tray into the oven and roast the duck for the next 90 minutes. - Heat 1 cup of water in a saucepan over medium heat and bring it to a boil. Add the orange peel and gently boil for around 8-10 minutes.
- Remove the orange zest and leave the water over heat. Add the brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, cognac. Squeeze the remaining orange half in the saucepan. Pour the chicken stock, white wine, and add the butter.
- While on heat, mix the cornstarch with 1-2 tablespoons of water in a small bowl. Add the cornstarch and cook for 2-3 more minutes, until the sauce thickens. Spread the obtained glaze over the duck.
