Peking duck gets its signature shatteringly crisp skin from a multi-day process of separating skin from flesh with air, blanching with boiling water, coating with maltose syrup for color, and extensive air-drying (often 24-48 hours) to remove all moisture before roasting, allowing the skin to crisp up perfectly as fat renders. The combination of dehydration and the sugar glaze creates that iconic amber color and brittle texture.
Cooking duck without scoring or piercing it
This is why it's important to score or pierce the skin. If you don't, the fat will get trapped in the skin, making it greasy and not crispy, while your duck meat dries out because it's not getting basted enough.
