directions
Add duck breasts to pan and distribute the marinade evenly over all sides of duck. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 3 hours.
Preheat grill to high. Cutting only through the skin and fat, score the duck breasts with five diagonal lines.
Grill duck, skin side down, for 1 to 2 minutes just to caramelize skin side.
Use a water sprayer to reduce flare up from the duck fat. Duck will colour very quickly.
Remove promptly from grill and transfer duck, skin side down to a small roasting pan.
Place on upper rack of BBQ. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until breast is still very rare.
Drain off duck fat and turn breasts over. Cook another 3 to 4 minutes until duck breast is medium rare.
Cover with foil and let rest for five minutes before slicing. Reserve pan drippings as sauce.
Combine ingredients for marinade in a medium shallow pan until blended.
See the duck for further cooking instructions.
