Any way you do any other bird will prolly come out great. Just make sure to soak em in buttermilk for at least a day to suck out some of that gamey taste!

I like to keep this easy:

Salt and pepper birds

Worcester inside cavity liberally

3 onions: Cut 1 in half, place the half in each bird. Chop remaining 2 onions and cover bottom of Magnelite. Add 1/2 stick of real butter.

1 bellpepper: Cut in half, place the half in each bird.

Place birds breast up on top of onion bed in Magnelite. Add 1/2 can chicken broth. Put top on Magnelite and stick in oven for about 2.5 hours @ 350. Remove top and let cook another 30 minutes (browns and thickens onion gravy)

If gravy is too thin, add flour. Serve over Short Grain Rice. Also thick black eyed peas cooked in bacon. I like to serve a crunchless potato salad with it as well.

Nothing fancy, just real simple and damn good.

Cut out the breast and divide onto bite size or smaller. Sprinkle Tony's all over and put them in the frige for 3 or 4 hours. Get some fresh jalapenos take out the seeds and cut them into thirds. Cut a white or yellow onion in to qtrs.
Now put the duck piece in the jalapeno, then cover the duck with the qtr. of onion, wrap the whole thing with a half a strip of center cut bacon and hold in place with a tooth pick. put all the wrapped goodness on a cookie pan and place in the oven on 350 until the bacon is done.
Hold toothpick and place the duck in your mouth.

It's also just so damn simple... i know folks who brown the birds first, use wine or sherry, cube this, cut that, dice this etc, etc, etc...

I do this at the duck camp for 6 - After an afternoon of drinking, deer hunting and/or watching football games. When drunk and tired, simple is way more better!

We do that for appetizers on the bbq pit, but we've never used onions, only the jalapeno.

Gonna give adding the onion a try this Sunday at the camp! Thanks ss

Duck N Greens (Posted on 1/1/10 at 7:20 a.m.)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's a great recipe for ducks that actually produces the best tasting greens I've had. Just about to put a pot together now.Try it when you have a few whole ducks to play with.
Ingredients:
2 or 3 whole ducks,picked not skinned
1 or 2 links of good smoked sausage or andouille
3 to 4 T of oil
3 or 4 whole garlic cloves
3 or 4 bags prewashed greens,turnip,mustard or both
2 or 3 turnips,peeled and quartered
1 cup water or stock
salt,black and red pepper to taste, or your fav seasoning blend

Method:

In a large Dutch Oven on stove top, place ducks, seasoned to your taste with salt, black and red pepper, in a few T of oil and brown well on all sides. Remove ducks. Add greens to pot, water or stock,sausage,garlic, and place the ducks back on top.Re seaon the pot with salt, black and red pepper. Cover with a tight lid and place in a 275 degree oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, until ducks are about to fall apart. The greens are frickin' money!
