I must be old school. I pluck mine, soak in a mild salt brine for about 30 mins. Then stuff with your favorite stuffing recipe and bake em like a turkey or chicken. MMMMMMM
Other option is breast them out, butterfly, then marinade in italian dressing overnight. wrap a jalepno pepper in the meat, wrap with bacon and grill till the bacon is done. TASTY!
I only shoot puddle ducks and geese though. These recipes wonlt work for mergansers, coots or diving ducks…

Salt and pepper (or other favorite seasoning) to taste. Place in oven for 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
