Deep Fried Duck

[kcud rellik]

Anyone ever try it? If so, how'd it turn out?

[kcud rellik]

How Long Did It Take In The Deep Fryer? And Was It Moist Inside Or Dry? As I To Wish To Try It This Fall.

[kcud rellik]

very moist i didnt time it but after about 2-3 mins it should be done and after that let it crisp to your liking (im not a pro so try it and make changes till it fits your tasting)

Is there a way to "easily" clean a duck and/or goose so as to deep fry it? It seems like a lot of work to get rid of all of the feathers but I am willing to give it a try..... I guess that I have heard so many stories about how to do it: boil bird, take a torch to it, etc. that I have not tried it to date. After watching Iron Chef for some years and seeing how they cook it I would like to give it a try!

duck is ok with a turkey fryer. But, whatever you do, don't waste your time with a goose....tried it once and that was enough....

TO TRIP 3s, THE BEST WAY TO CLEAN A BIRD IS HAVE SOMEONE ELSE DO IT. JUST KIDDING! ACTUALLY THE BEST WAY TO DO IT IS IN THE FIELD AS SOON AS YOU GET IT IN THE BLIND. YOU'LL FIND THAT THAT FEATHERS RELEASE QUITE READILY WHILE THE BIRDS ARE STILL WARM, AND THE SKIN WILL STAY ON THE BIRD AND THE QUILL FEATHERS COME OUT SOMEWHAT EASY THEN , OTHERWISE THEY BECOME A BATTLE. OH YES, MAKE SURE THAT ONE WING STAYS ON THE BIRD COMPLETLY FEATHERED FOR ANY ONE TO IDENTIFY THE SPECIES. OR YOU'LL GET A COUPON THAT YOU HAVE TO REDEEM IN COURT!$$$$$$

I tried it once, just the breasts. I must have over cooked them, because it was DRY. They had a good flavor to them, but lacked moisture.

[kcud rellik]

you guys actually pluck out the wole bird? we just take the breast because there isnt that much other meat. this is how we clean them : cut just under the skin from about the throat to the bottom of the breast. peel the skin back from breast and cut out the breast. quick easy and not very messy. i wish i had more duck *drool*

Thanks DANIEL, I will keep it in mind the next time that I harvest a winged creature!! Since shooting some geese and ducks, I have only breasted them out as others have done. After reading through my cook books and watching Iron Chef, I like the idea of using as much of a bird as I can, not just the breast! I dont like the thought of the meat going to waste after I breast the bird just because it "appears like too much work" to get the rest.... Not that there is anything wrong with just taking the breast, to each his own, I would just like to utilize as much as possible!

[kcud rellik]

Where else is there meat on a duck that is worth getting to? Do they have leg or wing meat?

[Hunter333]

I have not removed duck legs but I have removed goose legs.....use them for chili as they are pretty stringy if kept whole.

I have tryed kcud's deep fryed duck and it is pretty good.

When we make goose chilli we use just the breast if we have alot of bird and if we dont we pluck them

Kcud- We need to make goose chilli for the open or goose .
