Method
- Put a bamboo skewer through one of the duck legs and across to the other leg.
- Put another skewer through the wings. This will help keep the duck flat.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Place onto a warmed BBQ plate, skin side down, for about 5 minutes until the skin begins to brown.
- Turn the BBQ down to low, turn the duck over and cover with a lid or the hood of the BBQ and allow to cook for about 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, turn it over and let the skin crisp up for another 5 -10 minutes.
- Remove from the BBQ onto a clean plate and allow to rest for at least 10 minutes.
