I love the dry brine for chicken. I have never had the skin retract/crack like yours, but I don’t think that would be an issue. I envy the fact you can feed a family off of that. That entire chicken along with some fruit and or vegetables would be a meal for me.
Spatchcock the chicken, then cook in indirect heat until it’s done. Crank it and crisp if needed.
Duck breasts cut small slivers sauteed and season however and eat as tacos or fajitas.
grind the ducks into sausage
Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.

I always package my ducks in groups if twos or fours, so I can plan a meal without waste
Damn HS that looks good
If you've removed the skin and breast off the ducks then you can do it one of two ways.
First is a shephards pie. Flash fry the duck breasts, remove from heat and drain. Make a red wine gravy with the crumblies. Add root vegetables, peas and what ever else you like in a shephards pie. Add duck back to gravy and let it simmer and soak up all those flavors.
Pour in an aluminum pan cover top with garlic mashed taters, top with shredded sharp cheddar, gouda, havarti, and finally parmesan cheeses. Bake to melt cheese and serve. You'll hurt yourself eating it all.
Another option: Sprigdogs Weejun bowls. Duck breasts in the instapot with Fajita seasoning. Remove and shred then vaccum seal in packages that'll reheat for your serving size. To eat, defrost in a bowl, fry and egg or two and top with some avocado slices. Very simple, super tasty and mondo filling.
Finally there's always jalapeno poppers.
Grilling chicken can be done a thousand different ways. I like them in halvsies or spatchcocked with sweet baby rays or a dry rub. A good vinegar based Pee Dee BBQ goes a long way with them too...

I'd rather not think about what y'all do to solid tasting ducks.. I'm just going to pretend yall shoot a bunch of spoonbills, and Canadas, if the skin is off hopefully it's a ringneck.

I used up the last bit of duck once by slicing thin for duck cheese steak sammiches.

I'm gonna try this this evening, but modify it. I bought a ton of chicken halves last summer when it looked like chicken was going through the roof and vacuum packed it.
So I don't have to remove the back bone, but I will miss the extra skin.....
I was looking up different butter recipe for butter. Anyone have any recommendations? Before anyone gets smart this is what I'm aiming for:
Yup, he's crazy...
like a fox. The dude may be coming in a little too hard and crazy but 90% of everything he says is correct.
Sort of like Toof. But way smarter.
