Duck Legs Cornell
Created by my long time hunting buddy and business partner, Greg Cornell, owner of Northern California’s Silver Sage Caterers. Silver Sage has been providing exceptional meals for hundreds of sportsman’s organizations like California Waterfowl Association, Ducks Unlimited, Rocky Mountain Elk Association and Safari Club International, to name a few, for the past two decades. Remove duck legs and freeze them throughout the season until you have enough for this unbelievably tender appetizer.
