Grilled Duck Recipes

Steps:

• Stir together the Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, hot sauce, garlic, and pepper. Add the duck breasts, and toss well to coat. Cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to overnight.
• Preheat a grill for medium-high heat.
• Grill the duck to desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium-well, depending on the size of the breast, and the temperature of the grill.

Steps:

• Combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, five spice powder, dry mustard and some salt and pepper in a bowl. Using a sharp knife, score the skin of the duck so it has a 1/4-inch diamond pattern. Rub the spice mixture all over the duck.
• Heat a grill to medium (make sure it's not too hot since the key is to cook duck slowly to render the fat) and wipe down the grates with an oiled towel. Place the duck skin-side down on the grate and cook until the skin is seared and the fat is rendered, 4 to 5 minutes. (If there are occasional flare-ups from the fat, move the duck around on the grill to a new spot away from the flame each time.) Flip the duck over and place on a cooler part of the grill. Cook for an additional 5 minutes for medium-rare. Let rest for 5 to 7 minutes before cutting against the grain into thick slices.

Steps:

• Light a charcoal grill or smoker, or heat oven to 250.
• Make a dry rub by combining the cinnamon, coriander, cumin, black pepper and seasoned salt in a small bowl. Season the duck aggressively with the rub, applying it all over the body, inside and out.
• If smoking, place the duck on the smoker and cover, keeping the heat around 220 to 250. If grilling, move coals to one side of the grill and place duck on the other, away from the direct flame, then cover the grill. If oven-roasting, place duck in a roasting pan, and put in the oven.
• Cook the duck for 2 hours or so, until it has taken on some color, then remove from the heat, and place on a large sheet of aluminum foil. Wrap the duck in the foil, using another sheet if necessary.
• Place the wrapped duck in a clean roasting pan, and put in the oven to continue cooking for 2 or 3 more hours, until the meat is tender and pulls away from the bone. Serve with tortillas and salsas.
