Allow duck breast to rest for 10 minutes.

Grill breasts skin side down for 4 minutes. Flip and grill another 4 minutes on the other side.

Pull breasts from grill when they reach an internal temperature of 130 degrees F (for medium rare). The duck will continue to cook and should reach a final internal temperature around 135 degrees F.

Let rest 10 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!Have a recipe you’d like to share? Hit us up in the comments below.
