Beer Can Duck Recipes
BEER CAN DUCK
A variation on beer can chicken. I did this with a can of iced tea rather than beer but I don't think it makes that big a difference (my beer can chicken does not taste like beer and this duck did not taste like tea - the flavors come from the rub). Remember roasting duck is not like roasting chicken. The skin of a duck is massively fatty and the meat is dark meat. You need a lot of cooking time and you want the fat to drip out. Piercing the outer layer of skin and long roasting time will accomplish this and will leave you with a crispy delicious skin.

Steps:
- Salt the duck and place it uncovered in the refrigerator overnight to dry out.
- Preheat oven to 425.
- Pierce the duck skin with a sharp knife in multiple locations (10 to 20 pierces over the whole duck). Make sure not to pierce through to the meat. Piercing at an angle will help to ensure you only go through skin and fat.
- Combine ingredients for the rub and rub over the entire duck.
- Open the can, empty half and pierce 2-3 extra holes in the top. Optionally you can make extra rub and add to the can.
- Plug the duck neck opening with a small lime or shallot or spud (whatever you have handy that's golfball size).
- Stand the can in a relatively deep drip pan with a bit of water in the pan (preferably using a beer butt stand which you can get for $6 or less) and lower the duck onto the can shoving it into the backside as far up as it goes.
- Place in oven and roast for one hour at 425, then one hour at 375, and then one hour at 325.
- Remove from oven and carefully separate can from bird then carve and serve.
- You will have a huge amount of rendered duck fat in the pan which you can refrigerate or freeze and save for future use.

- Unwrap the duck, remove everything from the cavity, and pat dry with paper towels. Trim the neck skin just below the nub of the neck left on the duck. Poke the duck skin all over with a paring knife, so the fat can escape. Poke through the skin, but not into the meat – I poke with a very flat angle so I stay away from the meat. Sprinkle the duck with the salt and pepper, inside and out. (If you have the time, refrigerate uncovered, overnight to 48 hours, for a dry brining effect.)
- Spray the beer can with a fine coat of cooking spray. (This will make it easier to pull the can out of the duck when it is done cooking.) Set the partially full can of beer on a cutting board, and lower the cavity of the duck onto the can. The duck should sit all the way down on the can, with good posture – spine pointing straight up, and the tail and the knobs of the drumsticks touching the cutting board. (If the duck isn’t sitting all the way down, grab the can and the duck and wiggle them around – the edge of the can is probably caught on the spine of the bird.)
- Set the grill up for indirect medium heat (350°F), with a drip pan under the duck. For my Weber Summit, I remove the grate and a couple of burner covers in the middle of the grill, and put the drip pan so it rests on the burner and is wedged between the remaining burner covers. I put the grill grate back, preheat the grill with all the other burners on high for 15 minutes, then turn off all the burners except for the two next to the drip pan, which I leave on high. This gives me an internal temperature of about 350°F. (Summary: Burner 1 on high, drip pan replacing burner covers over burner 2, burner 3 on high, other burners in the grill off.) Finally, I brush the grill grate clean with my grill brush.
- Carefully transfer the duck to the indirect heat part of the grill grate. (If you have help, ask them to walk with you to the grill, carrying the sheet pan while you hold on to the duck. Then have them hold the pan while you lift the duck and can on to the grill.) Close the lid and cook until the duck reaches 185°F in the thickest part of the thigh and leg, about 2 hours for a five pound duck.
