PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS

ROASTED WITH HERBS

Pat skin dry, score lightly, season cavity with herbs and aromatics. Roast at 350°F (175°C) until skin is crisp and juices run clear; rest before carving.

CONFIT STYLE

Cure pieces in salt and herbs overnight; slow-cook submerged in duck fat at low heat (6–8 hours) until fork-tender.

CHINESE FIVE-SPICE ROASTED

Rub with five-spice and salt; roast at 400°F (205°C) until skin crisps. Let rest for juicy slices.

ORANGE SAUCE GLAZED

Finish roast with a glaze of butter and sugar-free orange extract during the last 15 minutes.

BONE BROTH BASE

Simmer the carcass with herbs and low-carb veg (celery, onion, herbs) 12–24 hours for nutrient-dense broth.

CRISPY DUCK SALAD

Shred leftover duck over greens; add crispy skin cracklings and a creamy dressing.
