Teal with Rum Orange Glaze
Teal are one of the few ducks that I’m likely to cook whole or split. Most of the bigger ducks I cook in parts. Teal are among the best and mildest tasting ducks and they’re perfect for grilling. If possible, leave the skin on, give them a good rub or marinade and, for goodness sakes, don’t overcook them.
