HOISIN BARBECUED DUCK
This is delicious and easy and only 4 ingredients! I found this in my 'Weber's Real Grilling' cookbook so it's kind of tailored to gas grill cooking...which is not to say that you can't do this on a charcoal grill, I would just carefully arrange the coals on the perimeter of the grill so that you're grilling on indirect heat. For gas grills, this is best done on grills with 4 vertical burners...place the duck on the middle of the grill and turn on the two end burners. That worked perfectly for me and I ended up with the best duck I've ever made. My 'neutral about duck' husband raved over it and asked me to make duck only this way in the future. I served this with my Baby Bok Choy with Oyster sauce (#74827) and my Scallion Cake (#82493) and I don't mean to self-promote those recipes but this ended up being such a perfect meal for us, I just can't help talking about it :)

Steps:
- Remove and discard, or use for other purposes, the neck, giblets and any excess fat from either end of the duck; prick the duck skin all over with a small knife, going sideways and DON'T go through to the meat and pay special attention to the fattier areas of the breasts - you want to get as much fat out as possible during the boiling time.
- Fill a large pot with enough water to cover the duck (I placed the duck in the pot, filled with water, removed the duck and then placed the pot over the burner to heat); bring the water to a boil and then carefully lower the duck into the water and push it down (wooden spoons are good here); bring the water back to a boil, lower the heat to a simmer and cook the duck for 15 minutes.
- Place a long handled spoon into the duck cavity and lift carefully, letting the cavity water drain into the pot, then place the duck onto a rimmed baking sheet lined with paper towels; pat dry, inside and out.
- Season the duck with the salt and pepper, inside and out; bend back the wings and tie the legs together with twine.
- Grill over indirect high heat (see my comments in my description) for 45 minutes (less if you like your duck rare); brush the duck all over with 2 tablespoons of hoisin sauce and continue grilling until the skin is dark brown, about 10-15 minutes, watch carefully as the duck can brown pretty fast with the hoisin sauce on it.
- Remove from the grill and let rest for about 10 minutes before carving.
- Serve warm with remaining hoisin sauce -- we used a lot more sauce during the serving time!
- This is great with scallion cakes or you could also make a sort of 'peking duck' out of this with some mandarin pancakes, hoisin sauce and sliced green onions.

ASIAN NOODLES WITH BARBECUED DUCK CONFIT
Glazed with a mix of hoisin, lime juice, and Sriracha sauce, duck confit happily travels from France to China. This exciting dish blends the fresh flavors of carrots, long beans, and herbs with slithery rice noodles and tender duck, its skin crisped under the broiler. When roasting the duck, be careful not to overcook it-you dont want it to dry out and become stringy.

SOUTH TEXAS BARBECUED DUCK
This is a remarkably straightforward way of cooking a duck and results in powerfully smoky and salty-sweet meat. The recipe came to The Times in 2015 via the San Antonio chef Quealy Watson, who cooked it in a smoker filled with small logs of mesquite. You could make do with a grill if you kept one side of it entirely free of coals and placed the duck away from the flames. Straight kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper can be used in place of the Lawry's.

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.

Steps:
- Remove all the meat from the duck carcass reserving the bones. I remove as much fat as I can, and most of the skin, however the skin is really tasty so I like a bit of it in there. Shred the meat and refrigerate.
- Pour the stock into a saucepan, then add the bones, garlic, ginger, coriander sprigs, lime rind and chillies. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for an hour.
- Strain and return stock to the saucepan.
- Add the shredded meat, baby bok choy and brocolli to the stock, bring to the boil and cook for about 3 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the noodles according to directions (mine had boiling water poured over them, then stood for 30 seconds before being drained).
- Divide noodles between 4 bowls, top with bean shoots.
- Squeeze lime juice into soup, ladle the soup into the bowls and top with fresh coriander.

Steps:
- Prick the skin of the duck all over with a fork, particularly around the breast. Combine the hoisin, soy sauce, mirin, honey, sesame oil, chili oil, garlic and ginger in a small saucepan over low heat. Simmer slowly for 5 minutes. Place the duck in a shallow dish, add half of the hoisin mixture and turn to coat well. Marinate several hours or overnight, turning the duck frequently.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Place the duck on a rack in a shallow roasting pan and cover with aluminum foil. Discard the marinade from the duck. Roast for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and prick the duck again.
- Continue roasting, uncovered, until the juices run slightly pink when pricked in the thickest part of the thigh, about 30 minutes longer. Let stand for 10 minutes. Stir the orange juice into the remaining hoisin mixture. Carve the duck and serve, passing the sauce for dipping.
Tips:
- Choose the Right Duck: Select a duck that is plump and has a good layer of fat beneath the skin. This will help ensure that the duck remains moist and flavorful during cooking.
- Proper Preparation: Before cooking, remove any excess fat from the duck cavity and pat it dry. This will help the duck cook more evenly and prevent splattering.
- Marinate the Duck: Marinating the duck in a flavorful mixture of herbs, spices, and liquids helps infuse it with flavor and keeps it moist during cooking.
- Low and Slow Cooking: Barbecue the duck over low heat for a long period of time. This allows the meat to cook thoroughly and develop tender, fall-off-the-bone texture.
- Baste Regularly: Basting the duck with the marinade or a mixture of melted butter, honey, and spices during cooking helps keep it moist and adds extra flavor.
- Rest Before Serving: After cooking, let the duck rest for a few minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
Conclusion:
Barbecue duck is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed in various ways. Whether you prefer it as a main course with sides, in a wrap or sandwich, or as an appetizer, the smoky, flavorful meat is sure to impress. With careful preparation, marinating, and cooking techniques, you can create a delicious barbecue duck that will be the star of your next gathering. Experiment with different marinades and side dishes to find your perfect combination and enjoy this classic dish to the fullest.
