Recipe Description:

The fragrant, crispy duck known as Xiang Su Ya is popular all over China, but arguably the original recipe is from Sichuan province, using 5-spice and Sichuan pepper to provide the fragrance. Some cooks in China will happily marinate a fresh whole duck for multiple days, steam it, air dry it for hours, and then deep fry. That recipe would make a fun DIY project, but not an easy weeknight dinner! So we’ve used the same seasonings to draw out the essential flavours from a compact and tender roasted duck leg— although please note that you’ll still need plenty of oven time to make sure the duck is cooked through to perfection.
