Roast duck
Rich and fattier than chicken, with a deeper, slightly gamey flavor and crisp skin when properly roasted.
Lens analyzedRoast duck is a whole duck, or portions of one, roasted until the skin turns crisp and the fatty meat underneath stays tender. Duck's higher fat content compared to chicken gives it a richer flavor and requires different roasting techniques to render the fat properly.
Where it comes from
Roasting duck is a long-standing technique across European and Asian culinary traditions alike, with methods ranging from simple home roasting to more elaborate preparations developed for restaurant and specialty dining.
Buying it
Check whether a duck is sold whole or as pre-cooked portions like breast or leg, and look for even, unblemished skin if buying it whole to roast.
Storing it
Refrigerate cooked roast duck and use it within three to four days; raw duck should be refrigerated and cooked within a day or two, or frozen for longer storage.
Keeps about 3 days in the fridge.
