Peel 1 orange, onion and apple, then cut into small pieces. Rub the duck with salt. Then stuff it with herbs, chopped onion and fruits. Preheat your oven to 356°F.
Fry the stuffed duck in a pan on all sides until golden brown. Cut another orange into slices. Arrange the orange slices around the duck in a baking dish. Cook in the oven for about 90 minutes.
Mix the honey and chicken broth and toss the duck with this sauce regularly while it's cooking. When the time is up, remove the duck from the baking dish. Pour the remaining juice from the baking dish into a separate bowl. Meanwhile, hold the duck in a preheated oven at 140°F.
Cut the shallots into thin rings. Grate the orange zest and squeeze out the juice. Then caramelize the sugar in a saucepan, add the chopped onion and fry. Then add the red wine, pepper, orange and duck juice, coriander seeds and bring the sauce to a boil. Now add the orange zest and then strain the sauce through a fine sieve. Stir in the cold butter. Serve the orange sauce with the duck and side dishes.
