Bought a duck in the supermarket today..what do i do with it?!

[user1483390742]

Bought a leg of lamb for Sunday, then saw full Gressingham ducks for half price, so got one of those too! I've never cooked duck before! Do i just roast it like a chicken?

amazing.

Pour boiling water (carefully!!!!) over the skin - watch it shrink and tighten, it's great fun- then pat completely dry, add a good handful of salt and rub into the skin, a bit of five spice seasoning if you have it and roast in the oven (google for timings)

Then shred and use as crispy shredded duck yum yum yum

My nan did a honey mustard glazed duck recipe from bbc good food at Christmas that was really nice

*Worried - do they spit a lot then? I was going to put it in with the lamb. Will it make my lamb taste of duck?! 😂😂
