Duck Breast

So let's say you're a smoking pro, and you're looking for a recipe to shake things up between briskets. Or maybe you're hosting a party for people who both love barbecue and own yachts, and you need to cook something impressive. In either case, smoked duck breast should meet your needs pretty nicely. Of course you never want to mess up when cooking your food, but it's especially important to get it right when you're cooking something fancy like duck. When it's overcooked, duck meat can end up really tough. But properly-cooked duck will be tender on the inside with gorgeous, deep red skin and crispy fat, and MEATER will help you calculate the perfect cook time to make that happen! If you're going to indulge with your main course, why not do the same with your sides? Duck breast should be paired with a decadent French side dish, particularly something cheesy like potatoes au gratin. Of course, an upscale dinner isn't the same without a nice glass of red wine, and you'll have the best luck with fruity types like pinot noir or merlot to go with your duck.
