Wood Duck Recipes

GRILLED WILD DUCK BREAST

Steps:

• Stir together the Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, hot sauce, garlic, and pepper. Add the duck breasts, and toss well to coat. Cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to overnight.
• Preheat a grill for medium-high heat.
• Grill the duck to desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium-well, depending on the size of the breast, and the temperature of the grill.

CROCK POT WOOD DUCK

Steps:

• Check the ducks thoroughly for shot -- remove any shot with tweezers.
• Place the cleaned ducks neck-up in a crock pot.
• In a separate mixing bowl, blend the butter, soup, chicken stock, seasoned salt and wine.
• Pour the soup blend into the crockpot, over the ducks and add in the carrots.
• Cook on the HIGH setting for one hour and then reduce to the LOW setting for 5 more hours. Halfway through the cooking time, flip the ducks upside down. Check for tenderness at the end of the 5 hours and cook for another hour if necessary.
• Serve with rice.
• A TIP: If you have trouble removing the feathers after scalding the duck, then make up a blend of half parafin and half beeswax and pour a little over the duck -- let it harden for a minute and then pull the feathers off.
