Directions
- Combine the salt, pepper, ginger, chili, bay leaves, curry powder, cinnamon, basil, and garlic. ≈ 4 min
- Score the duck breasts, being careful not to pierce the flesh. Rub both sides with the spices and then refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Combine the tangerines, soy sauce, honey, and chili paste until you have a smooth sauce. ≈ 4 min
- Bring it to a boil in a saucepan and reduce it by half. Allow to cool.
- Grill the duck breasts for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, basting with the glaze once or twice, then flip them and continue grilling for 3 to 4 minutes, basting again, to achieve a slightly pink interior.
- Heat the remaining lacquer to a boil and serve it in a bowl alongside the duck.
