Tips on roasting a duck.

[eggchaser1987]

Well, I'm sure everyone has different ways of doing it and all with good results.

I have never roasted a duck before and as we are having friends over the weekend I thought I would give it a go, and if it doesn't work then down to the Chinese and have duck with pancakes!

Are there any sure fire ways to roast a whole so that it turns out nice and moist with crispy skin?

Or is it going through the whole cooking and taking the skin off and crispen it off after.

Thanks. Think I will have to use one of the recipes from that site. Just which one?

Thanks for the advice all. I was thinking on just doing some leg, but the idea of having a whole roasted bird on the table seamed right. Got to try these things at least once.

It's not going to happen now for a couple of weeks, friends forgot it was a sisters birthday so it wont happen this weekend.

I had a look at the Gressingham duck website and the Roast duck with Honey and Rosemary jus looks like a winner. Easy enough to do but should taste good.
