3 hands-off dinners that practically cook themselves

1. Malaysian roast chicken

3. Whole roast duck

It takes just 10 minutes to prep this recipe and then you can go off and relax while it roasts. You can also do lots with the leftovers. Add shredded duck to noodles or a salad and, if you’re feeling experimental, try this incredible duck, chilli and ginger wonton broth.
