Roasted Duck Breasts

Make your guests think they’ve stepped into a classic French bistro when you present them with perfectly roasted duck breasts, complete with crispy skin! June’s Duck Breast Cook-Program eliminates the guesswork from cooking this sometimes intimidating protein. Keeping the duck breasts in the refrigerator until you’re ready to use them makes scoring their skin easier. Restaurants generally serve duck breasts cooked to medium rare or medium so they’re tender and rosy in the middle, but you can cook yours to well done if you like. Reserve any drippings for the next time you use June’s Potato Chunks Cook-Program.

Score the skin

Place one duck breast on the chopping board, skin-side up. Using a sharp knife and being careful not to cut into the meat under the skin, lightly slice into the skin at a 45° angle in ¼” intervals. Rotate the duck breast on the chopping board and repeat the scoring process in the opposite direction, making a cross-hatch pattern in the skin. Repeat with the other duck breast.

Season the duck

Place the duck breasts skin-side up on the June Roasting Rack set in the June Pan. Pat the duck breasts dry with paper towels. Season them all over with salt and pepper. Drizzle the skin with the oil and rub with a spatula or the back of a spoon to evenly coat.
