  • 1/2 teaspoon (2 milliliters) Ginger, Ground
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2 milliliters) kosher salt
  • 2 duck breasts , (about 8 oz/250 g each)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) vegetable oil
  • Honey Chipotle Glaze

Preparation

  • 1 For the Duck, mix brown sugar, spices and salt in small bowl. Set aside. Score duck breasts in criss-cross pattern, cutting through skin-only, leaving meat intact. Rub with spice mixture to coat all over. Wrap each breast with 3 to 4 layers of cheesecloth. Place on sheet pan, skin-side up. Transfer to refrigerator. Refrigerate 4 to 6 days to dry age. Remove duck breast from refrigerator. Rinse with cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
  • 2 When ready to serve, prepare the Glaze. Mix all ingredients in small saucepan. Bring to simmer on medium heat. Cook just until bubbly and thickened. Keep warm.
  • 3 Heat oil in large oven-safe skillet on medium-low heat. Place duck breasts in skillet, skin-side down. Cook 10 to 12 minutes or until skin is browned and crispy and most of the fat has been rendered out. Turn breasts and cook 3 to 5 minutes longer or until desired doneness. (Internal temperature should reach about 120 to 125°F/49 to 52°C for rare).
  • 4 Brush each duck breast with 2 tablespoons (30ml) of the Glaze. Transfer pan to oven. Broil just until glaze is bubbly and caramelized, about 2 minutes. Let duck rest 5 minutes. Thinly slice and serve drizzle with additional glaze.
