Send me your favorite duck recipes

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?

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
