Well its VERY greasy but cooks the same as chicken. The tradional way is to have with orange sauce, BUT be very careful when cooking cos can get overcooked very easily

Dizzi, use a fork to stab the skin all over, then the fat can escape. The reason Orange sauce, or indeed, Black Gherry sauce, is used, is to counterbalance the fatty taste. Save the escaping Duck fat for roasting potatoes at another time.
Very nice meat, by the way. I love it.

I usually sit it on a rack and prick it as Julia says, that way it is not sitting in fat. We love duck, you will find there is not as much meat on a duck as a chicken we reckon on one duck roasted for 2 people.

As most of the fattiness of the duck is on the topside cook the duck upside down and on a wire rack












now if you don't get reported for duck abuse it does turn out nice
