Air Fryer Crispy Duck Recipe

Instructions

Prick the skin of the duck legs all over with a sharp knife. This will allow the fat to render and will help crisp up the skin.

Pat the skin dry with a piece of kitchen roll, then rub the Chinese five spice, salt and pepper all over the duck legs.

Place in the air fryer basket, skin-side-up and air fry at 170C/325F for 35 minutes.

After 35 minutes, increase the heat to 200C/400F for a final 10-15 minutes, until the skin is crisp and dark brown.

Remove from the air fryer basket, allow to rest for 5-10 minutes, then shred the meat using two forks. SEE NOTE 1*

Serve the shredded duck in warm pancakes with thin strips of spring onion (scallion) and cucumber and drizzled with hoisin or Chinese plum sauce.

Roll up and eat!
