1. 24 to 48 hours before you want to start cooking, salt the duck evenly, inside and out. Put the duck on a rack over a roasting pan or baking sheet, and store in the refrigerator, uncovered. (This dries out the skin to help it crisp up, and gives the salt time to dry brine the duck.)
2. One hour before cooking, remove the duck from the refrigerator. Put all the stuffing ingredients except for the half a tangerine into a small bowl. Toss the stuffing ingredients until well coated with the oil and five spice powder. Pat the duck dry with paper towels, then poke the skin on the breast and thighs all over with a paring knife, being careful not to pierce the meat. (I do this by coming at the duck from a very low angle, almost parallel to the skin.) Stuff the duck with the half a tangerine and the stuffing mix. Finally, truss the duck, and skewer it on your rotisserie spit. Let it rest at room temperature while you prepare the grill.
3. Set the grill up for rotisserie cooking at medium-high heat (400°F). For my Weber Summit, I remove the grill grates, turn the two outer burners (burners 1 and 6) to high, and turn the infrared burner to high. Then I put my drip pan in the middle, over the unlit burners, and let the grill preheat for ten to fifteen minutes.
4. While the grill is preheating, put all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and whisk to combine.
