Preparation

In a bowl, add the ingredients of the marinade and season with salt and pepper. Mix.
Place the breasts in an airtight dish and pour half of the marinade over them. Close the dish, mix well and reserve in the fridge for 24 hours. Shake occasionally.
Preheat the BBQ at maximum power. Close one side and place the duck on the grates, skin side down. Close the bbq lid and cook for 5 to 6 minutes.
Very important to always keep an eye on your duck, because the flames can go up and burn fast! Splash with the fresh marinade.
Reduce the lit side to medium power and place the duck on them, flesh down, for grilling. Cook for 4 minutes and rotate 45 degrees. Continue cooking for 4 minutes or until 135°F for medium rare cooking. If there are too many flames, move the meat around. Remove from heat, put on a plate and cover with foil. Let stand 5 minutes before slicing thinly!
