Welcome back to the patio, everyone! As we transition into September, there is nothing quite like the rich, indulgent flavor of a beautifully smoked bird to kick off our weekend gatherings.
Orange Zest and Five-Spice Powder
I rub this aromatic mixture under the skin before smoking to cut through the duck's natural richness with a bright, fragrant lift.
Pair it with: Roasted root vegetables with a balsamic glaze
Mama T's tip: To ensure the best texture, prick the duck skin all over with a fork before smoking so the fat can render out properly for that signature mahogany crunch.
