I've never made it before and was thinking of keeping it simple and spatchcocking it and just doing salt and pepper. But, I would also like to here some tasty recipes from my fellow because there are some good chefs here.
Quick questions, duck is greasy so:
do I need to add butter/oil like I usually do when I spatchpeepee chicken and turkey?
do I need to worry about any flare ups in the oven?
I asked @iStillMissEd for duck cooking advice like a month ago and that CUTE TWINK did not get back to me
While looking for some recipes, I stumbled upon an article that made me mad because this guy's reasons for not liking spatchcocking boils down to him either being a lazy crybaby, a poorcel who doesn't have the space or an extra $10 lying around to buy poultry shears, or he's a master bussyblaster who shit out an article to make people seethe.
A Passionate Plea to Stop Spatchcocking Your Chickens - The name is dumb, and so is the process.
Spatchcocking Does Not Save Time
Many articles will tell you that a spatchcocked bird cooks in less time than non-spatchcocked birds, and while this may be true in some instances, spatchcocking will almost always take more time in the long run. This is because despite how "easy" some reports try to convince you spatchcocking is, it is actually a hassle. It's a hassle to find a surface big enough for prepping the bird. It's a hassle to cut out the spine if you don't have dedicated kitchen shears. It's a hassle to clean those shears if you do have them. It's a hassle to clean your kitchen afterwards, because despite your best efforts, the spatchcocked bird will flop around and brush against your counter and your stand mixer and your knife block—after which you'll tailspin into a frenzy of cleaning because cleaning up after a poultry encounter is the closest most of us will come to becoming Lady MacBeth.
This is the most pants-on-the-head retarded shit I've ever read. Unless it takes him 6+ hours to cut the spine out of a turkey and flatten it, spatchcocking will always be faster. This is the man who struggles with this simple taste

Yes lmao, my favorites in Austin are Lin and Qi, owned by the same chef and they have it as a special on Sundays. Its VERY fricking expensive. I usually just grab it when visiting friends in Houston bc their chinatown is super cheap and massive.

Is it worth going? Ive had the place bookmarked but I recall their hours not aligning with skiing very well.

Absolutely! We had made our reservation for our second day there. The reason being I'm usually sore as frick after the first day out on the slopes so it gives me a reason to call it early.
And yeah I remember it may have only been two seatings per evening but it was a very pleasant dining experience.

How could you possibly take longer than 5 mins to spatchpeepee a bird? And if you're using the oven, just preheat in that time.
