Duck Breast* Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Duck Breasts

   Score the skin of the duck breasts in a crosshatch pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

2. 2

   Sear the Duck Breasts

   Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the duck breasts skin-side down in the skillet without adding oil. Sear for about 6-8 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown. Drain excess fat as necessary.

3. 3

   Cook the Duck Breasts

   Flip the duck breasts and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium rare. Remove from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Prepare the Sauce

   In a small bowl, mix together honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.

5. 5

   Glaze the Duck

   Slice the rested duck breasts into bite-sized pieces. In a clean skillet over medium heat, add the BBQ sauce and the prepared sauce. Add the duck pieces and toss until well coated and caramelized, about 5 minutes.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the glazed duck pieces immediately, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
