The only reason I asked is because it looks a little wet on the cutting board in the after picture. I love good charcuterie and also duck so this sounds like a cool idea.

Wait, so you're telling me when you breast ducks you don't keep the skin and fat?

That is usually how I do them too but this year I saved a few that had good thick fat layers and not too many holes in the breast. Pan seared them skin side down and then for a few min of non skin side. came out pretty good fat added lots of flavor.

most of the time i just peel back the skin and then take out the breast meat, legs and heart. i started keeping the livers too but only at the end of the season.

also in the latter half of the season i started cutting out the whole breast plate with meat attached, and in those cases i did leave on the skin/fat most of the time. but i intended those for smoking or pot roasting.

next year it's gonna be a full on butchery tho. i'm not throwing anything away unless i'm in a hurry. got some srs plans for those babies.

there's another recipe in the cookbook i got called a confit that i'm going to try. from the brief glance i gave it, it looks like you brine them and then cook in a layer of stock/fat for a long time.

i've made buffalo wings with them before but i havent figured out how to cook them without making them super tough yet. i'm still experimenting though.

duck legs pan fired are pretty damn good. You just have to not over do them.

I like to bread them in egg wash with crushed ritz crackers with a little chicken rub thrown in. Pan fry in canola or peanut oil.
