Duck à l'orange is a classic French dish that sounds complicated but is really just roasted duck with a citrus glaze. The orange juice, honey, and soy combine into a sweet-savory-tart sauce that cuts through the richness of the duck fat. The glaze goes over the sliced duck, not on it before cooking. Sugar glazes in the air fryer burn.
