Dry the duck skin, then gently separate the skin from the meat so air can circulate.
Pour boiling water over the duck for 2 minutes to tighten the skin.
Brush with the honey, vinegar, and soy sauce mixture and dry the duck uncovered for 8 hours.
Roast the duck at 200°C for 25 minutes.
Lower the oven to 170°C and roast for 45 more minutes, until the skin darkens.
Rest the duck for 15 minutes, then slice the skin and meat thinly.
💡 Tip: Dry the duck uncovered for 8 hours before roasting; the skin becomes crisper in the oven.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve wrapped with pancakes, cucumber, scallions, and hoisin sauce.
