Notes
Crispy duck is extremely popular within the Sichuan province also it are available in many restaurants. However, it's also equally popular to prepare in your own home because, unlike Peking duck. it's simpler to create in your home kitchen. My modern variation uses duck breast using the skin on. The duck is first seasoned after which pan-fried before the skin is crispy the cooking will be completed within the oven. I love serving this having a sweet and sour apricot and plum sauce.
