Barbecued Orange-Rosemary Duck
Add seasoned vegetables and boiled red potatoes coated with olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic for a complete outdoor feast. This preparation also works great with upland game and antlered game steaks. The recipe calls for duck breast, but you can use the marinade and basting sauce for whole ducks as well.
