Crock Pot Wood Duck
- 2 wild ducks, wood ducks, cleaned, plucked, and thoroughly rinsed
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 15 ounces cream of celery soup
- 15 ounces chicken stock
- 1 teaspoon seasoning salt
- 1/2 cup dry white wine (chablis is good)
- 4 large carrots, peeled and chopped
- Check the ducks thoroughly for shot -- remove any shot with tweezers.
- Place the cleaned ducks neck-up in a crock pot.
- In a separate mixing bowl, blend the butter, soup, chicken stock, seasoned salt and wine.
- Pour the soup blend into the crockpot, over the ducks and add in the carrots.
- Cook on the HIGH setting for one hour and then reduce to the LOW setting for 5 more hours. Halfway through the cooking time, flip the ducks upside down. Check for tenderness at the end of the 5 hours and cook for another hour if necessary.
- Serve with rice.
- A TIP: If you have trouble removing the feathers after scalding the duck, then make up a blend of half parafin and half beeswax and pour a little over the duck -- let it harden for a minute and then pull the feathers off.
