For an extra crispy skin, try air-drying the duck in the refrigerator, uncovered, for 24 hours after applying the spice rub. Serve with thin pancakes, extra green onions, and hoisin sauce for a traditional Peking duck experience. Be vigilant while roasting at 500°F (260°C) to prevent the skin from burning. If it starts to char too quickly, reduce the oven temperature slightly.
