Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • duck breasts
Trim the duck breasts and score the skin so the fat renders and the skin does not contract and lift the breast off the grate.
  • salt
  • pepper
  • chilies
Season with salt, pepper, and ancho and chipotle chilies.
Grill over the hot side of a two-zone charcoal fire to render the fat under the skin and crisp it; move to the cool side if dripping fat flares up.
Once seared on both sides (internal about 70-72), move beside the coals for indirect cooking to 120 to 125 for medium rare.
Pull at 120, rest 10 minutes inside and slice.
