Honey-Orange Duck Breast
Duck breasts are also delicious grilled or served cold or at room temperature in a salad.
- Thaw packaged duck breasts on a dish in the refrigerator.
- Preheat oven to 375° F.
- Score breasts, making a ½-inch criss-cross pattern without cutting all the way through. Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat skillet to medium.
- Saute skin-side down until fat is rendered and skin is crispy and brown, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Turn, saute 1 to 2 minutes more.
- Place in a baking dish and roast 2 to 4 minutes or to desired internal temperature.
- Let rest 2 to 3 minutes before serving.
We recommend cooking duck breasts at 350° to 400° F. Because duck continues to cook after it is removed from heat, remove 5° before the desired internal temperature on the guide below.
