Cooking a whole duck in the microwave to drain fat before roasting in the oven makes handling this tough bird a breeze.

Arrange the ducks, breast-side down in a large or oven- and microwave-safe oblong baking dish. Microwave at full power for 10 minutes. Turn the ducks breast-side up and microwave another 5 minutes. Pour off fat and juices and reserve.

Meanwhile preheat the oven to 375F. Transfer the ducks to the oven and roast for 1 hour and 15 minutes until the the duck skin is crisp and the meat is tender enough so that the drumstick bone moves slightly when twisted.
