For the sauce:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Score the skin of the duck breasts in a diagonal pattern without cutting through the meat. This will help render the fat and create a crispy skin. Season both sides of the duck breasts generously with salt and pepper.
Heat a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and place the duck breasts, skin-side down, into the hot skillet. Sear for about 4-5 minutes, or until the skin is nicely browned and crispy. Flip the duck breasts and sear for an additional 1 minute.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the duck breasts for about 10-12 minutes for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Remove the duck breasts from the skillet and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
While the duck breasts are resting, prepare the tangy orange-cranberry sauce. In a saucepan, combine the cranberries, orange zest, orange juice, honey, and cinnamon stick. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 10-12 minutes, until the cranberries burst and the sauce thickens slightly. If desired, you can mix cornstarch with a little water and add it to the sauce to thicken it further. Remove the cinnamon stick and season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
Slice the roasted duck breasts and serve them with the tangy orange-cranberry sauce drizzled over the top. You can also serve it with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
