Air Fryer Duck Breast

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 duck breasts

  boneless skin on
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

• 1 Pat dry the duck breast dry with paper towels; you want the skin as dry as
  possible.
• 2 Take a razor-sharp knife and score the skin in a crisscross pattern. Be careful
  to only cut the skin and not the underlying meat.
• 3 Season it well with salt and ground black pepper.
• 4 Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes. Place the duck breast in
  the air fryer, skin side up. Cook for 10 minutes. Turn the temperature down to
  350°F (175°C) and cook for another 5-10 minutes. Use a meat thermometer to check
  the internal temperature. For medium, aim for 145°F; for medium-well, go for
  155°F; for well-done it’s 165°F.
• 5 Cover the duck breast with foil and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing
  and serving. This is necessary to allow the duck to retain its juices.
