Spice Rubbed Grilled Duck Breast
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon five spice powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 duck breast halves
- Oil, for the grill
- Combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, five spice powder, dry mustard and some salt and pepper in a bowl.
- Using a sharp knife, score the skin of the duck so it has a 1/4-inch diamond pattern.
- Rub the spice mixture all over the duck.
- Heat a grill to medium (make sure it's not too hot since the key is to cook duck slowly to render the fat) and wipe down the grates with an oiled towel.
- Place the duck skin-side down on the grate and cook until the skin is seared and the fat is rendered, 4 to 5 minutes.
- (If there are occasional flare-ups from the fat, move the duck around on the grill to a new spot away from the flame each time.)
- Flip the duck over and place on a cooler part of the grill.
- Cook for an additional 5 minutes for medium-rare.
- Let rest for 5 to 7 minutes before cutting against the grain into thick slices.
