Marinate the duck in the refrigerator for 24 hours until the skin takes on a parchment-like texture and absorbs the marinade.
Preheat the oven to 220°C (gas mark 9), the highest temperature setting.
Pour about 150 ml of water into a roasting pan to catch the fat that drips from the duck during cooking.
Place the duck in the roasting pan with the water and put it on the top oven rack. Roast for 15 minutes to crisp up the skin.
After 15 minutes, turn the duck over, return it to the oven, reduce the temperature to gas mark 4, and roast for about 50 more minutes, allowing the fat to collect in the water below.
Remove the duck from the oven and let it rest for 10 to 12 minutes.
Transfer the duck to a cutting board and tear it into pieces.
Serve the duck with pancakes, sliced cucumber, and chopped spring onions.
