While I have not yet posted specifically how to pluck a duck (which requires wax), I have talked about <a href="http://www.honest-food.net/blog1/wild-game-recipes/pheasant-quail-partridge-chukar-recipes/how-to-pluck-a-pheasant/" rel="nofollow"><b>how to pluck a pheasant</b></a>, and this technique works for chickens, turkeys, quail, grouse, chukars and other partridges.

I've been practicing on chickens, but I'm not nearly as good as you yet. I'm gonna try your breasting technique. (That sounds racy!) What do you like to do with the tenderloins? I've always cooked them with the breast, but I'm definitely open to new ideas. Great post, thank you! I’ve been practicing on chickens, but I’m not nearly as good as you yet.

Or chicken or potatoes or onions or parsnips or...well, whatever suits you. Lang: I need to go find me a bunny before I can do that. I should be able to get on in a week or two. Check back then!
