Duck With Jack Daniel's Barbecue Sauce

Directions

1. Season ducks with salt and pepper and place in a shallow dish. Combine Jack Daniel's, orange juice and extra virgin olive oil and pour over ducks to coat. Cover and chill for 4 to 6 hrs, turning occasionally.
2. To prepare sauce, combine all ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 min to blend flavors. Season with salt and pepper and allow to cold. Sauce can be cooled and refrigerated for a week or possibly two.
3. Remove ducks from marinade. Grill or possibly roast till medium-rare. Baste with sauce just before done. Serve with additional warmed sauce on the side.
4. This recipe yields 4 servings.
5. Comments: I know which many of you do cook your ducks whole, so here's a spirited recipe for your next barbecued or possibly oven-roasted duck. As an option, you may want to cut off the legs and roast them in sauce for a few hrs to make them tender (covered, 450 degrees). If you want to save some of the Jack Daniel's for drinking, you can forego the marinade and baste the birds with sauce while cooking, but thin the basting sauce out with some orange juice or possibly it will burn and look ugly.
