Broiled Duckling

5.0

(1)

Have duckling split in halves for broiling. Be sure to spread the coals in a circle leaving the center under the duckling clear. Duckling is fat and the drippings blaze up quickly; if the fat drips on the coals, you will have a roaring fire instead of hot ashes. A dripping pan in the center helps.
