BBQ Duck Recipe – How to Cook a Juicy Duck Breast on the BBQ
If you’re a fan of grilling, duck breast is an excellent choice for your next al-fresco meal. It’s juicy and incredibly delicious, especially with this simple orange-blackberry glaze.
Cooking duck is a little different than cooking chicken because it needs time to render fat before it’s crispy, which can be tricky with a gas grill.

Before you start smoking your duck, make sure you have all of the necessary ingredients on hand. You’ll need a smoker, wood chips, and a water pan. You’ll also need a digital probe thermometer to monitor the internal temperature of your meat, which is usually about 170deg F.
Smoking ducks takes a bit of time, so be sure to leave plenty of time for it to cook. It can take up to seven hours in the smoker, so plan on having a full day or two before you want to smoke your duck.
To get started, prepare your smoker by connecting the Billows BBQ Control Fan and placing the grate in place. Set the smoker to a temperature of around 300-325degF (149-163degC). Add some wood chips or chunks to the fire and set the water pan below the cooking grate.
Next, coat the skin of your duck with kosher salt and let it dry in the fridge overnight. This process helps the skin to dry and crisp up before it goes on the grill. It’s also a good idea to dry-brine your duck, which can help keep it moist during smoking.
Once the duck is dry, you’ll want to puncture the skin all over it with a sharp skewer, making small holes to help drain off fat during cooking. Doing this ensures the duck is evenly cooked throughout and will render some of the fat out of the skin, which will make the meat juicier when it’s done.
You can serve this smoked duck with a variety of different sauces and sides. You can even slice the duck and serve it on top of Chinese pancakes, green onion, strips of cucumber, or orange slices.
This bbq duck recipe is easy to make and can be adapted to include different types of meats. It’s a perfect way to impress your guests and enjoy a delicious dinner at the same time!
BBQ roast duck recipe
When it comes to cooking a duck, the best way to make sure it’s juicy and tender is to cook it on the BBQ. You’ll want to make sure you get the internal temperature up to 165 degrees F, but it also helps if the skin is crisp and thin.
First, you’ll want to rinse the duck inside and out. This will help remove any excess fat that may be present. Next, you’ll need to pat the duck dry. You’ll also need to pierce the skin with a knife at regular intervals so that the fat drains from the meat as it cooks.
Once you have the duck ready, you’ll want to season it with salt and pepper. You’ll also want to rub it with a mixture of lemon zest, dried thyme and garlic granules.
After that, you’ll stuff the cavity with oranges and a whole head of garlic (cut up). You’ll then wrap the neck skin over the body cavities, securing it with a skewer.
Then, you’ll need to roast the duck. This recipe calls for grilling, but you can use your kamado to achieve the same results. Just be sure to rig the barbecue for indirect heat and not direct flames.
If you’re using a gas barbecue, you’ll need to prepare the charcoal before you start cooking your duck. Then, you’ll need to make sure your grill is set up for indirect heat with the control set at low or medium heat.
When the duck is ready, transfer it to a platter and let it rest for 15 minutes before carving. This will allow the skin to crisp up and prevent it from becoming soggy while it’s cooking.
Alternatively, you can also roast the duck on the stovetop. You’ll need to blanch it in hot water, prick the skin at regular intervals and then glaze the skin with a soy, vinegar and honey mixture for extra crispness.
Then, you’ll need to roast it for 30 minutes. This will ensure that the skin is golden brown and burnished, but it’s important to keep an eye on it during this time so you can brush on the remaining honey-thyme glaze before it goes into the oven.
Smoked duck kamado
Smoking duck is a great way to add a new flavor profile to your food. It is also a foolproof way to pack a lot of flavor and moisture into fresh duck meat.
The key to smoking duck is to get the right temperature for rendering the fat. Traditional smoking temperatures are relatively low–200-275degF (93-135degC)–but duck is dark meat, so it requires a higher cooking temperature to render the fat well.
A bbq smoker with an accurate thermometer is best for checking the temperature of your duck and to ensure that it is cooked through and done. A reliable thermometer will let you know when the duck is 165degF or higher.
To get started, preheat your bbq smoker to about 275 degrees F. Then place your smoked duck in the smoker and close the lid.
During the smoking process, you will want to brush your duck with a glaze every 30 minutes. This will help keep the skin from drying out during the smoking and give your duck a nice crisp exterior.
Once your duck is smoked and done, you can serve it straight from the grill or put it under the broiler to make it even more crispy. You can also drizzle it with orange maple glaze for added moisture and flavor.
If you’re looking for a tasty bbq recipe to cook up this holiday season, look no further than a smoked duck kamado! This is a delicious recipe that will be sure to impress your guests.
Before you start, be sure to purchase a fresh duck that weighs at least 5 pounds. The breast meat should be plump and firm, with a light color. You can find these in any supermarket or a good butcher.
When choosing a duck, be sure to choose one that is not plumped or pre-seasoned with brine as this will make it too salty for the bbq. A fresh, whole Pekin duck is ideal for this recipe, but if you can’t find a fresh one, a frozen duck will work just as well.
Once the duck is smoked, brush it with a baste that is comprised of brown sugar, soy sauce, and salt. Apply the baste to your duck after it has been cooking for about 2 hours and then again after it has been in the smoker for another hour.
Best bbq duck recipe
Grilled duck is a classic waterfowler and home cook favorite, and it’s easy to make. The key is to get the skin perfectly crisp without overcooking it. It also helps if you get the fat off before cooking.
The best way to do this is with a barbecue. If you have a charcoal grill, set up a two-zone fire and then place the duck breasts skin side down on the hot side of the grill. Once the skin is browned, move it to the cooler side of the grill and poke it with your finger every 90 seconds or so.
When you’re ready to turn the breasts, add more coals to the hot side and check the internal temperature. If it’s 165 F, you’re done. If it’s not, let it finish over the cooler side of the grill for a few minutes before you take it off the grill.
You can also try a smoked duck recipe if you don’t have access to a BBQ. Just rig up a smoker and smoke it until the duck is tender and incredibly tasty.
To prepare the meat, remove it from the packaging and discard any neck or giblets. Then prick the skin over the fatty areas about 10 times.
Next, score the skin on the breast with a knife in a diamond pattern so that some of the fat will render off (the process called “rendering”) during the slow roasting time. You can use the same technique on other pieces of meat, including thighs and legs.
After that, place the duck on a rack and roast it in a preheated 350 degree F oven for about 3 hours. You can check it periodically using your thermometer and, if necessary, poke it with your finger.
The duck will be tender when it’s cooked to a medium rare temperature, and its juices will be infused into the meat. It should be served with a delicious glaze made from fresh lemon juice, honey and thyme.
This Asian-inspired glazed duck is sweet and spicy. It’s a delicious and healthy meal.
