Defrost it partially or all the way.
Remove the breasts and legs, the rest will probably just be tossed as I do not think you are into making stock.
You will find duck is very fatty. The fat is generally why people eat it in the first place. Back to the subject.
The legs will not be as easy to do and are better left to braising. So we shall skip those.
Now take your two breast halves (deboned, with skin and fat intact) and score the skin to the fat but not to the meat in a criss cross fashion. Season to taste with s/p.
Using a hot heavy pan place the duck skin side down (no oil) and allow it to sear until crisp. You may need to drain off fat as it cooks. (ok you will, btw this fat works wonders when you saute veggies in it). Do the majority of the cooking on the skin side. Since you have no oven do not start with a hot pan or you will burn it before it crisps.
Proceed to flip it after it has cooked on the skin side for a good 10 minutes or more. Finish that side off in around 5-7 more minutes. Duck can be eaten medium rare unlike poultry.
Due to its taste you often will want a sweet sauce or glaze to go with the duck. I might suggest something like OJ concentrate or fresh juice reduced to a thick glaze with a slight amount of vinegar and sherry.
You can or could use any asian rub as well.
