Ingredients
  

  • 4 Duck Breasts
  • 2 Tbls butter

Instructions
 

  • Make cross slits in the duck skin.
  • Pound the duck breasts gently to even out the size.
  • Preheat the BGE to 400° and place the Cast Iron Pan on the grilling surface.
  • Place the butter in the preheated pan and waited for it to melt.
  • Place the Duck Breasts skin side down in the pan.
  • The key to a successful Duck Breast is to render out all the fat from the skin - to do so you have to be patient and keep the skin side down for about 10 minutes.
  • Once the skin was brown and crispy turn the duck breasts and cook for another 5 minutes.
  • Pull the Duck out of the pan and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
