I first came across this recipe after visiting some friends in Kent, this was on the menu minus the chilli powder and paprika which I added for extra flavour and believe it enhances the easy roast duck recipe greatly. The room was filled with this amazing aroma from the roasting duck which remains with me until this day.

This easy roast duck can be served and enjoyed equally with vegetables such as cabbage sprouts carrots cauliflower peas roast or mashed potatoes etc. or with a fresh green salad and baby new potatoes  .We hope you enjoyed this easy roast duck recipe, you can find more easy recipes here
