for its unique &#8220;dry, fragrant, and lean&#8221; flavor and traditional braised and roasted duck techniques.<\/p><p data-start=\"79\" data-end=\"225\">Zhang Duck uses a special method where the duck is first braised with 48 natural spices, then roasted to achieve a texture that is tender yet not greasy.<\/p><p data-start=\"79\" data-end=\"225\">The duck&#8217;s meat is carefully selected from 140-day-old Mallard ducks for a firm texture. Signature dishes include the braised roasted duck, as well as duck necks, wings, and feet, which are perfect as snacks or paired with alcohol.<\/p><p data-start=\"79\" data-end=\"225\">Over the years, Zhang Duck has modernized its packaging with nitrogen preservation and introduced DIY sets for home use, becoming a well-loved brand and a symbol of Chongqing&#8217;s <a
