Notes
My tip: as for roast chicken and unlike on these photos, I start by turning the poultry upside down, bottom against the dish, flip the duckling 30 min before the end to raost it. This way breasts, in contact with the liquids at the bottom of the dish ,will be very tender, less dry.
Note: The cooking time depend on the weight of duckling,
