Did you make this? I have a couple of home-grown ducks in my freezer…been just sticking them in my crock pot…would love some new ideas!

Yes - pricked skin all over, salted and left to dry overnight in the fridge. Then put in a cool oven (130C) for 3 hours or so, pour off the melted fat (you get a lot!) and put back into a hot oven (210C) until the skin crisps up.

For UK ketonians this is a great option.

The pancakes and hoisin are the primary sources of carbs (and they are optional) and it crisps up SOOOO well with lots of fat and skin. I would even hazard that it’s good enough to justify the pancakes and a little bit of sauce.
Be careful what you roast it on - I used one of my mum’s nice baking sheets and it was permanently ruined… oops

This is how I roast my ducks. I started doing this a few years ago and it works really well, especially for saving all that luscious fat.

Reminds me of Beer-Can-Shicken, apparently you can do this with duck too!
