Here’s a snippet …

When I was growing up in Singapore, my mother would sometimes bring home a whole or half duck—succulent, slick with soy sauce, and very tasty—from the nearby hawker center to supplement our dinner. My siblings and I would dig in heartily, devouring every part of the bird. And we, a family of dark meat lovers, always came away with satisfied grins on our faces, as unlike with a whole chicken, no one had to contend with white meat. Even though mum is a fabulous cook, I remember wishing that she would be too busy to cook more often…

      Hi Tuty,
      Ive not tried it with chicken but I don’t see why not. If you try it with chicken, let me know how it goes!

      I like both the crispy skin versions and the smooth silky skins you get with some soy sauce glazed duck, Thomas. Both are delicious!

      Yum, peking duck! It’s been a long time since I’ve had the authentic version. I remember having them with pancakes instead of the baos and they were the best!m

    I cooked this recipe today, used whole chicken instead of duck, it turned out very good. Will cook again with duck in Christmas. I believe the flavor will be better.
    Thank you for sharing the wonderful recipe.

    lol! When I’m too busy to cook, duck or bbq pork is exactly what I pick up for dinner! But now I might just have to try making it on my own. Thanks for the recipe! 🙂
