Then, if you're cooking a whole duck,
I would also recommend that you keep it somewhere cool, dry and well-ventilated for 12-24 hours before you cook it, and brush the skin with very cheap vodka every couple of hours.

If you're just doing legs, boil'em for an hour or two then baste them with hoi-sin and crisp 'em up under the grill.

No.
Apart from the aforementioned heart-winning, but in my defence I can't say I've ever tried.

whole duck
before leaving it for 12-24 hours, pour a load of boiling water over it to shrink the skin.

well worth doing. the homemade pancakes are the business too. Have done it a few times, it's easy and it impresses the hell out of people.
