Instructions

Pat the duck completely dry inside and out with paper towels. Combine the kosher salt and five-spice powder and rub the mixture all over the skin and inside the cavity. Place the duck breast-side up on a roasting rack set over a rimmed pan and refrigerate, uncovered, for at least 8 hours or overnight, until the skin feels dry and papery to the touch.
