How to Rotisserie Grill Duck

METHOD: Rotisserie grilling

ADVANCE PREPARATION: 6 to 24 hours for marinating the duck

There’s an easy, mess-free way to cook duck. Simply roast it on the rotisserie of your grill. The slow, gentle turning is perfect for crisping the skin and melting out the fat. You wind up with a textbook perfect bird that’s crisp outside, tender inside.

The recipe accompanying this technique is based on a Chinese method of smoking over a mixture of rice, tea, tangerine peel, and spices. Because it adds an extra step, I’ve made the tea smoking optional.
