DUCK COOKING TIMES

1
Preheat the oven to 200°C/gas mark 6
2
Prick the skin of the duck with a toothpick or metal skewer and season all over with salt
3
Place on a baking tray and roast for 20 minutes plus 20 minutes per 500g (for example, a 2kg duck would take 1 hour 40 minutes)
4
Remove the duck from the oven and cover with foil. Rest for at least 20 minutes before serving

Tips

For an extra crispy skin, pour a kettle of boiling water over the duck and then leave to dry for an hour before cooking.

If roasting vegetables to accompany your duck, cook the duck on a wire rack and place the vegetables on the shelf below. The duck fat will drip on to the vegetables and give great extra flavour.
