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.

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 for Barbecuing Wild Duck
- Choose a marinade that will complement the flavor of the duck, such as a citrus-based marinade, Asian-inspired marinade, or a marinade made with herbs and spices.
- Marinate the duck for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat before cooking the duck.
- Cook the duck over indirect heat to prevent flare-ups and to ensure that the duck cooks evenly.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the duck. The duck is cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the duck rest for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
