Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 duck breasts
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • herbs optional, of your choice
  • Spices optional, of your choice

Instructions

  1. Begin by patting the duck breasts dry with paper towels. Then, score the skin in a crosshatch pattern, careful not to cut too deep into the flesh.
  2. Season the duck breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil. Once the oil is hot, place the duck breasts in the skillet, skin-side down.
  4. Cook the duck breasts for 5-7 minutes or until the skin is golden brown and crispy. Then, turn the breasts over and cook for an additional 2-4 minutes for medium-rare or longer for more well-done.
  5. Once the duck breasts are cooked to your liking, remove them from the skillet and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
  6. Slice the duck breast against the grain and serve.

Notes

  • This method will result in a crispy skin and a pink, juicy meat inside. It's important to let the duck breast rest after cooking to ensure a juicy meat.
  • Please note that cooking times and temperatures may vary depending on the size and thickness of your duck breasts, so it's best to use a meat thermometer to ensure that the meat has reached a safe internal temperature of 165°F.
