Whole Chinese cooked duck is a traditional dish that features a whole duck that has been marinated, air-dried, and then roasted to perfection. The duck is typically seasoned with a combination of Chinese spices and herbs, such as star anise, ginger, garlic, and soy sauce, which infuses the meat with rich and savory flavors. The cooking process results in a crispy and golden-brown skin, while the meat remains tender and succulent. Whole Chinese cooked duck is often served with steamed pancakes, hoisin sauce, and thinly sliced vegetables like cucumber and spring onions.
