Roast at 180 °C (Fan 160 °C) for 40 minutes per kg, plus 20 minutes extra. For the last 15 minutes, increase to 220 °C for crisp, golden skin. Always check the internal temperature reaches 74 °C.
Yes — you can season or lightly dry the duck in the fridge ahead of time. For crisp skin: pat the bird dry, prick the skin with a skewer or fork (without piercing the meat), pour boiling water over the bird for a moment, then dry again and roast on a rack so the fat drains away. This helps the skin crisp beautifully
You can buy a free range whole duck online from The Black Farmer, with UK-wide delivery. It’s prepared whole and ready for roasting at home.
Free range duck typically develops a fuller flavour and better texture due to slower growth and natural movement. It’s particularly noticeable when roasting, where the fat renders more cleanly and the skin crisps properly.
A whole duck takes around 40 minutes per kilo plus an additional 20 minutes. For best results, finish at a higher temperature to crisp the skin.
Duck is richer and fattier than chicken, which means more flavour and a crispier finish when cooked properly. It also produces rendered fat that can be used to cook sides alongside it.
