ROTISSERIE DUCK WITH DRIP PAN NEW POTATOES image

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 5-6 Lb Duck
1 1/2 tablespoons Salt
5 Thyme & Rosemary Sprigs
1 1/2 pounds New Potatoes
2 teaspoons Salt
1 Lime Juice (Rind reserved)
1 tablespoon Jalapeno Honey
1 teaspoon Fresh Thyme, minced
1/2 teaspoon Fresh Rosemary, minced

Steps:

  • Slash duck skin in a diamond pattern, being careful not to cut flesh. Season with salt and pepper, inside and out. Put the duck on a rack over a pan and refrigerate, uncovered overnight, or up to 48 hours.
  • Remove duck from the refrigerator 2 hours before cooking. Juice the lime, reserving lime juice for the glaze. Put lime halves and a handful of thyme and rosemary inside cavity. Fold the wingtips back underneath the wings, then truss the duck after watching Michael Ruhlman's hysterical trussing video.
  • Turn outer two burners on, place drip pan over the middle unlit burner, and heat grill to 400°F. Place skewered duck on the rotisserie and turn heat down to 350F.
  • Halve the new potatoes and toss with 2 teaspoons kosher salt.
  • Mix reserved lime juice, honey, minced thyme and rosemary.
  • After duck has cooked for 45 minutes, add potatoes to the drip pan under the duck. When the temperature in the thigh reaches 155°F (after about 1 1/2 hours), brush it with the glaze and increase heat to high until skin is crispy and potatoes are brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from the grill, and pour over remaining glaze. Let rest 10 minutes before carving.
