Critical Success Points

  • Remove the skin and score the fat of the duck breast (step 1)
  • Preheat the barbecue to the proper temperature (step 6)
  • Sear the breast in the direct zone (step 7)
  • Indirect cooking to reach medium‑rare (step 8)
  • Let the breast rest before slicing (step 10)

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the barbecue with heat‑resistant gloves.
  • Never leave the fire unattended.
  • Use tongs, never a metal fork that could pierce the meat and cause fat splatter.
