With an appliance

  • Oven 1 hr 30 min

    Change step 1: Place the duck on the middle rack of the oven at 230 degrees for 20 minutes, turning it once at minute 10, and placing a drip tray underneath to catch the grease. The oven ensures even cooking and requires less constant monitoring of the charcoal, while resulting in a less smoky outer layer.
