The Perfect Christmas Roast Duck

If the duck is frozen: The evening before, take the duck out of the freezer and let it thaw on the windowsill.

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius top and bottom heat.

Wash and pat the duck dry. If the duck still has the skin flap on its neck, as well as the tail, cut both off with poultry shears. Now rub the duck with salt and let it rest for an hour.
