A basic recipe and information for roasting wild duck or goose.
Ducks will require 20-30 minutes at 450 degrees F. and 1 to 1 1/2 hours at 350 degrees F. A goose will take 15-30 minutes longer than duck. As a general rule, the bird is done when the leg can be moved back and forth easily.
Wild duck and geese have less fat than domestic varieties and do not create as much mess in the oven. Duck or goose can also be cooked in a cooking bag with seasonings.
At 350 degrees F, duck will take about 1 1/2 hours. Plan on 2 hours cooking time for a goose in a cooking bag.
A large duck will feed 2 people, a smaller duck or a teal will feed 1 person. A 6 lb. dressed goose will feed 4 to 6 people.
