- Pat the duck meat dry with paper towels.
- Using a sharp knife, make a crisscross pattern on the duck.

- Spray the air fryer with some olive oil to prevent the duck from sticking to it.1 tablespoon olive oil
- Place the whole duck in the air fryer, breast side up.
- Air fry for 30 mins, then flip and air fry for 30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165F.
- If the skin is not crispy enough, increase the temperature to 380F and let it air fry for 5-10 more minutes.
- Let the air-fried duck rest for 10- 15 minutes before carving.
Notes
- Instead of using chicken seasoning, you can create your own blend of spices. Another excellent option is all-purpose seasoning or creole seasoning.
- When you're making the crisscross pattern in the duck, try to cut the skin only. This will help prevent the duck from drying out as it cooks.
- If you notice a lot of grease from the duck, you may want to empty it out of the basket between cooking times.
