BBQ Duck Recipes

Duck is a really fatty bird so part of the challenge with any recipe is to either cut the fat off or to find ways of letting the fat drain during the cooking process. Don't worry, it's not difficult.

In the kebab recipe you’ll simply cut the fat away from the breast, dice the meat and then you’re ready to go. If you want to grill the breast (as above) or the whole bird you’ll need to score the skin of the duck.

Note that a wild duck won't have as much fat on it as one bread for meat and that's because the wild duck is more active and therefore doesn't store energy as fat.

TIP - After scoring you'll then add seasoning and the salt leeches the water out of the fat therefore making the skin crisp up. The trick with scoring the skin is only to lightly cut the surface and into the fat. Don’t go right down into the meat otherwise you’ll end up with a dry bird.
