What is Cured Duck Leg?
Cured duck leg (also called Chinese preserved duck leg or lap ya leg) is a traditional Chinese delicacy made by salting fresh duck, then air-drying it in a well-ventilated place. The process reduces moisture and concentrates the duck’s natural flavors, creating a rich, savory taste with a satisfying chewy texture. Hubei farmhouse-style cured duck is known for its balanced saltiness and fragrant aroma.
