Marinating:

1

Score the skin of the duck breasts in a crosshatch pattern without cutting into the flesh. Season with salt. Place them skin-side down in a cold frying pan, then turn on the heat: the fat will render slowly and the skin will become crispy.

2

Cook for 6 minutes on the skin side, then 3 minutes on the flesh side for medium-rare meat. Keep the duck breasts warm under a sheet of aluminium foil and discard any excess fat.

3

Deglaze the pan with the balsamic vinegar, add the Sirop de Liège and the chicken stock. Let it reduce by half, then mount the sauce with the cold butter.

4

Slice the duck breasts on the bias, fan them out and coat with the sauce. Serve immediately with baby potatoes or a pan-fried selection of seasonal vegetables.
