Scale
Marinade Ingredients
- 0.25 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon hot sauce
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Main Ingredient
- 4 skinned, boned duck breast halves
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Collect all necessary ingredients for the marinade and duck breasts to ensure a smooth cooking process.
- Prepare Marinade: In a large bowl, combine Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, hot sauce, and black pepper. Stir well until fully blended to create a flavorful marinade base.
- Marinate Duck: Add the skinned and boned duck breast halves to the marinade. Toss to coat all pieces evenly, cover the bowl, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight. This allows the duck to absorb the marinade’s rich flavors.
- Preheat Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it’s hot enough to sear the duck breasts and lock in moisture.
- Grill Duck Breasts: Remove the duck breasts from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Place them on the grill and cook for 5 to 7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) using an instant-read thermometer. Discard the remaining marinade after use to avoid contamination.
Notes
- Marinating overnight intensifies the flavors if you have extra time.
- Ensure the duck breasts are patted dry before grilling to achieve a better sear.
- Use a meat thermometer to check internal temperature for safe and perfect doneness.
- Let the duck rest a few minutes after grilling before slicing to retain juices.
- Adjust hot sauce amount to control spiciness based on your preference.
