Equipment

  • Saute or Deep Frying Pan
  • Air Fryer

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Duck breasts
  • Sea salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your air fryer to 180°C and remove all packaging.
  • Pat the skin of the duck breast with a kitchen towel to remove excess moisture. Score the skin of the duck breast and season with salt and black pepper, if desired.
  • Heat a frying pan on the hob over a medium to high heat without oil. Place the breast skin side down in the hot frying pan. Cook for 5 minutes until the skin turns golden brown; turn over and seal the meat for 1 minute. Pour off the excess fat regularly.
  • Place the duck breasts skin side up in your preheated air fryer for 14-17 minutes, depending on how you like your duck cooked. Leave to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
