Cris here.
Truth be told, I was an adult before I ever tasted duck. It was love at first taste. Now, granted, my first taste was prepared by folks who really knew what they were doing. I was visiting a duck farm and they had prepared a feast for lunch that I will never forget. Ever since then, I have attempted to make duck at home that tasted that good many times…but this slow cooker recipe is about as close as I have been able to get!

Ingredients for Crock Pot Duck
- 1 Whole Duck- Thawed with any packets removed.
- I Tablespoon Poultry Seasoning
- 1 Tablespoon Lawry’s Seasoned Salt
How to Make Duck in a Slow Cooker
- Mix poultry seasoning and seasoned salt together.
- Season duck liberally with mixture.
- Place a rack in your 6 quart slow cooker. Or, if you do not have a rack, make four foil balls to place in the bottom of your slow cooker to lift your duck off the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Place the duck breast side down into your slow cooker on the rack or balls.
- Cook on low for 6-8 hours or until the duck reaches the internal temperature of 170. (We use a meat thermometer like this one.)
- If desired, place duck on a lined cookie sheet and broil on each side to crisp skin. Watch broiler carefully as to not burn skin.
Notes on Crock Pot Duck Recipe
- If you are using a non-stick multicooker and are afraid that the metal rack may scratch your non-stick coating, consider getting one of these silicone racks.
- We like touse a meat thermometer like this one to keep the probe in the crock with the lid closed to alert us when the internal temperature is at 170 so we do not overcook.
- As with any of our recipes, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly depending on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish.
- All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline and shouldalways be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.

I had never tried duck before….. but! Wow! This was so good! I followed your instructions, but added a little bit of rosemary.
I made gravy and it came out so rich and velvety.
Thanks so much for this easy recipe!Reply

We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed it Deb! - Ov says
How did you do the gravy pls?
- David Cameron says
Cris….is their any water use in the crock pot or chicken broth once you put the duck in the pot??Reply
- Cris says
Hi David!
We did not add any liquid to the duck. It will create its own juices as it cooks. Enjoy!
- Darlene says
Does the duck have to be laying flat in the slow cooker? I only have a 6 qt crock pot and it is more of the old vertical type. Will this recipe work or do you have any other suggestions?

Hi Darlene!As long as it fits down in there, it should be fine. The vertical cooking will help keep it from sitting too much down in all the fat it will cook off (why we were putting it on a rack/foil balls) so that actually may be a better option. Let me know how it goes!
