What is Cooked Duck Breast, Skin On?
Cooked duck breast with the skin on is breast meat cooked with its skin left in place. Duck is enjoyed in many cuisines, though it is more often a restaurant or special-occasion choice than an everyday meat in many English-speaking homes. It is usually served sliced as a main course.
The meat has a rich, savoury flavour; when the skin is browned, it can be crisp while the centre stays tender. Pair it with roasted vegetables, potatoes or a sharp salad to balance its richness. It provides protein, but the skin adds substantial fat, so you can leave some aside for a lighter plate. Warm cooked slices gently to help keep the meat from drying out.
