Tony Chachere" Long Island Duck

Bergy's Note:

Long slow cookingalong with the bastings is the secret to producing a moist duck with all the fat cooked off the bird. It is one of my favorite recipes for duck. You can save the grease to use another time - the flavor increases but I have never done this and am leary of reusing fat. You can do this recipe using just salt & pepper instead of Tony Chachere but it is not as good

Bergy, This was wonderful! DH actually cooked it and added 1 Tbsp of Soy Sauce and a little butter to the basting liquid. I definitely would not use just salt and pepper. The creole seasoning gives it so much flavor. In fact, DH left to go to the store to buy another duck to cook again.
