Use the method for Peking Duck... It's a pain in the *a* but it works great. Get a duck that has a fair amount of neck and tie the open compartments securely with baking twine. Hang it up in a dry place and then...<this is the good part> get a syringe and inject air between the skin and meat. Rub the duck thoroughly to release the skin from the meat as you do this.
Let it air dry (I still don't feel comfortable with the 24 hour thing but it seems to work and I haven't heard any newsbreaks about people dropping from eating Peking Duck) and then roast.
I'm sure there are sites that can explain it better.
(I'm in the middle of trying to take 10 years off my age with Clairol...LOL)
