Wild Duck Bake

Early in the morning hours when it cold and wet, better if it is raining, the Cajun hunter secures his seat in his duck blind. Here he will shoot his limit of wild ducks or geese if all is on his side. This duck bake is what you make when your hunter comes home with the birds! Aunt Carmen gave me this recipe many years ago.

Ingredients

  • 1 duck, well cleaned
  • 1 small onion
  • 1 small orange
  • 4 tbsp barbeque sauce
  • 4 tbsp sherry
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Step 1

Stuff the duck with the onion and orange, cut so it will fit into the cavity. Rub well with salt and pepper above and below the skin.

Step 2

Place the duck breast down in aluminum foil large enough to completely seal the duck. Pour the barbeque sauce and sherry over the duck and seal the foil.

Step 3

Bake at 275 degrees for 3 hours. You will find this style of baking leaves very little of the "wild game" taste in the duck.
