Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Season the duck with salt and black pepper.

Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe pot over medium heat.

Brown the duck on all sides until golden, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove the duck and set aside.

In the same pot, sauté chopped onion, garlic, and carrot until softened, about 5 minutes.

Add chorizo and cook for another 3-4 minutes until it releases its oils.

Stir in rice, bay leaves, and thyme, cooking for 2 minutes to toast the rice.

Pour in white wine and let it simmer until mostly evaporated, about 2-3 minutes.

Add chicken broth and bring to a boil.

Return the duck to the pot, cover, and transfer to the oven.

Bake for 1 hour or until the duck is tender and the rice is cooked through.

Remove the duck, shred the meat, and discard the bones.

Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in shredded duck.

Garnish with chopped parsley and lemon zest before serving.
