Score the skin
Place one duck breast on the chopping board, skin-side up. Using a sharp knife and being careful not to cut into the meat under the skin, lightly slice into the skin at a 45° angle in ¼” intervals. Rotate the duck breast on the chopping board and repeat the scoring process in the opposite direction, making a cross-hatch pattern in the skin. Repeat with the other duck breast.

Season the duck
Place the duck breasts skin-side up on the June Roasting Rack set in the June Pan. Pat the duck breasts dry with paper towels. Season them all over with salt and pepper. Drizzle the skin with the oil and rub with a spatula or the back of a spoon to evenly coat.
