Simple Rotisserie Duck Recipe

For many North Americans, the holiday dinner table has always revolved around the same familiar dishes. But as the excitement of Christmas grows and family gatherings become more anticipated, the thought of another dry turkey might start to feel like the Grinch is stealing the joy from your celebration.

With over 40 million turkeys consumed every Thanksgiving and nearly 22 million on Christmas, it's time to switch things up. Why not try something new this year? Grilling a rotisserie duck using an infrared burner on a PGS Grill can bring a fresh twist to your holiday menu — one that’s both delicious and trending.

Did you know that duck was once the star of early Thanksgiving and Christmas feasts in the U.S.? In the UK and parts of Europe, duck and goose have long been traditional holiday dishes. While families used to roast them over open flames, modern grilling technology like the PGS Grill’s infrared rotisserie burner makes it easier than ever to prepare a perfectly cooked, juicy duck.

Why Rotisserie Duck Makes a Great Holiday Dish

Grilling for the holidays isn’t just about better flavor — it also means less cleanup and more time with family. A typical 11-pound turkey takes 165–180 minutes in the oven, while a rotisserie duck can be ready in just 60–90 minutes. With a timer set and no need for constant basting, you can enjoy more quality time with loved ones instead of being stuck in the kitchen.

Family-sized rotisserie ducks are perfect for groups of 4–6 people, making leftovers much more manageable. Unlike oversized turkeys, which often go to waste, a well-cooked duck is enjoyed fully without the hassle of repurposing meat for days. And if you're hosting a larger group, cooking a second duck is quick and easy — faster than Santa’s reindeer!

Rotisserie duck is also known for its juiciness and crispy skin, which makes it a favorite among many. Even without special equipment, duck tends to stay moist and flavorful, offering a richer taste than most roasted birds.

Cooking Duck on an Infrared Rotisserie Burner

The infrared rotisserie burner on a PGS Grill is a game-changer. It cooks food faster and more evenly, giving you a perfectly roasted duck with minimal effort. Here's how to do it:

• Make sure your infrared rotisserie burner is clean and place a drip pan underneath.
• Wash and thoroughly dry the duck inside and out.
• Use a skewer or knife to poke about 50 small holes into the skin.
• Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of garlic powder.
• Tie the legs together and brush with your favorite marmalade.
• Secure the duck onto the rotisserie spit and place it on the burner.
• Set the heat to medium and cook for 60–90 minutes.
• Check the internal temperature — it should be above 160°F at the thickest part.
• Brush with a second layer of marmalade before serving.

You can also add some fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, or ginger for extra flavor.

There are countless marmalade options to choose from, and they all work well with duck. A simple orange marmalade is a popular choice and adds a sweet, tangy finish to the dish.

How to Make Simple Orange Marmalade

This easy orange marmalade takes less than 10 minutes to make and pairs perfectly with rotisserie duck. Here’s what you’ll need:

• ½ cup orange marmalade
• ½ cup 100% orange juice
• 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 4 minced garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons chopped rosemary

Combine all ingredients in a saucepan, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Let cool, then use half for the duck and save the rest for the table. You can also experiment with other flavors like apricot, grapefruit, or lemon for a unique twist.
