Description

Duck breast is tender and flavorful with a natural layer of subcutaneous fat that melts during cooking, adding juiciness and depth. The fat should be scored and the breast cooked skin-side down for crispy skin and even heat distribution.

Resting

Let the duck breast rest for 5–8 minutes covered with foil. This allows the juices to redistribute evenly and prevents moisture loss when slicing.
