Description

This Grilled Wild Duck Breast recipe features tender, skinless duck breasts marinated in a flavorful Worcestershire sauce and garlic mixture. Grilled to perfection, the duck breasts develop a vibrant and distinctive taste, perfect for a gourmet meal that is quick to prepare yet rich in flavor.


Ingredients

Scale

Marinade

  • 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

  1. Gather Ingredients: Collect all the necessary ingredients for the marinade and duck breasts to ensure a smooth cooking process.
  2. Prepare Marinade: In a large bowl, stir together Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, hot sauce, and black pepper until well combined.
  3. Marinate Duck: Add the skinned, boned duck breast halves to the marinade. Toss well to coat all pieces evenly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate to marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight to infuse maximum flavor.
  4. Preheat Grill: Heat the grill to medium-high heat to ensure a good sear and proper cooking temperature.
  5. Grill Duck Breasts: Remove duck breasts from the marinade, letting excess liquid drip off. Place on the preheated grill and cook for 5 to 7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F (74°C) as measured by an instant-read thermometer. Discard any remaining marinade.

Notes

  • This skinless duck breast recipe uses a Worcestershire and garlic marinade to enhance the natural flavors of wild duck.
  • Marinating overnight intensifies the flavor and tenderizes the meat.
  • Ensure to cook duck breasts to a safe minimum internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for food safety.
  • Letting the duck rest a few minutes after grilling will preserve juiciness.
