Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 1 whole duck (thawed or fresh, about 2.5kg (5½lb))
- Salt and pepper to taste (about 1 tsp of each)
Instruction
- Preheat your oven to 325°F
- With the help of a sharp knife, make a series of small incisions in a criss-cross pattern on the duck's skin (be careful to only pierce the skin and fat without cutting into the meat).
- Sprinkle the duck generously with salt and pepper and rub it gently with your fingers so the seasonings get into the cracks.
- Place your bird into a 7 quart Dutch oven, put the lid on and place the duck in the oven for 4 to 5 hours, basting it every hour or so, until it's fall-off-the-bone tender and displays beautifuly nice and golden skin.
- Serve without delay.
