What is "duckling"?
Duckling meat refers to the tender and flavorful flesh of a young duck, typically harvested between 6 to 8 weeks old. With its relatively high fat content compared to other poultry, duckling meat gives a unique depth of flavor and juicy tenderness. Commonly prepared through methods such as roasting, braising, or grilling, duckling is celebrated in various cuisines worldwide, from classic French dishes like Duck à l'Orange to aromatic Asian specialties like Peking duck.
