Barbecue Duck |  |
| Step 1: Preparation | |
 Quarter three (3) ducks; or, you may order pre-cut. |
| Step 2: Parboil Duck | |
 Fill large pot with water.
Add Salt to taste and cut-up duckling.
Bring to a boil and cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour. |
| Step 3: Marinate | |
 Drain water well.
Mix the following in a large bowl:
- 1 cup of brown sugar
- 6 oz frozen orange juice concentrate
- 8 cups Culver Barbecue Sauce
- Liquid Smoke is optional
Add barbecue marinade to hot duck. Mix thoroughly. |
| Step 4: Marinating Options | |
 Marinate for at least 1 hour. You want to use all of the marinade, thoroughly saturating the duck.
If you wish to freeze or refrigerate for later use, you may do so. |
| Step 5: Grilling BBQ Duck | |
 Heat coals, and place duckling onto the grill. Place breasts, skin-side down.
Grill until the skin is crisp, moving away from the fire if you wish to keep from burning.
Brush often with marinade. |
George Foreman Grill | |
| Step 1: Preparation | |
 Place duckling skin side down, onto George Foreman Grill. Cook for 25 minutes with the lid up.
Turn, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes on the meat side with the lid down. Serve. |
Griddle Seared | |
| Step 1: Preparation | |
 Before placing the duckling on the griddle, elevate the back legs of the griddle to allow any renderings to drain off during cooking. |
| Step 2: Cooking | |
 Place duckling skin side down, onto Griddle. Set temperature to 400 degrees F. Cook for 30 minutes.
Turn, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes on the meat side. Serve. |
Grilling Duck Breast | |
| Step 1: Preparation | |
 Prepare coals.
Season duckling breasts and place skin side down on the grill. |
| Step 2: Cooking | |
 You will soon have a large fire. This is what you want. Do not extinguish it.
When the fire goes out, the duck is done. |
| Step 3: Flip Over | |
 Turn over the breasts and cook for 30 seconds for rare, and 45-60 seconds for medium well. |
| Step 4: Slicing | |
 Duckling sliced properly will be wonderfully tender. Cut the breasts in half. Then, slice at a 45 degree angle as shown. |
Oven Baking Whole Duckling | |
| Oven Baked Whole Duckling | |
 Preheat Oven to 350 degrees F.
Add salt, pepper, poultry seasoning, or Culver's BBQ Rub to skin.
Bake uncovered for 2 to 2 1/2 hours on a rack, with a large pan underneath to catch the oil, to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. Cook time may vary.
If you want to add a sweet glaze to the skin, add it 15 minutes before cooking is completed. |
Pan Searing | |
| Step 1: Placing Duck into Skillet | |
 When you want to pan sear duckling breast, you first place the duckling breast, skin-side down into the skillet.
|
| Step 2: Heat | |
 Turn burner on to medium high and cook for 12 to 14 minutes. Cook time may vary.
|
| Step 3: Drain | |
 As the duckling breast cooks, drain off excess fat as desired. You may do this more than once until the skin is crisp and rendering stops.
|
| Step 4: Turn and Cook | |
 At this stage in the process, you have two choices. You may finish the cooking by turning the duckling breast over and continuing to cook it in the skillet. If you choose this method, cook for 45 seconds if you desire your duckling medium; and, 60 seconds if you want it well done.
|
| Step 5: Finish on Grill | |
 After you have cooked the duckling breast skin-side down, you can also choose to complete the cooking on the grill. If you choose this method, grill for one minute on each side, or as desired. |
