Start by rinsing the duck under cold water and patting it dry with paper towels.

Rub salt and pepper all over the duck, inside and out.

Place the orange quarters and thyme inside the cavity of the duck.

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Place the duck breast-side up on a wire rack in a roasting pan. Roast for about 1 hour.

After an hour, mix honey and soy sauce, then baste the duck with this mixture.

Continue roasting for another 30-60 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Remove the duck from the oven and let it rest for at least 15 minutes before carving.
