"This is a great appetizer using wild duck breast. It reminds me of an appetizer I've had at formal gatherings that uses chicken livers." — Annmarie

Directions

Whisk the sherry, soy sauce, peanut oil, and ginger together in a mixing bowl until evenly blended. Cut the duck breast into 16 pieces and place into the marinade along with the water chestnuts; toss to coat. Set aside to marinate at room temperature for 1 hour.
Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
Drain the marinade from the duck meat and discard. Place a duck piece onto a water chestnut, and wrap with half a bacon slice. Secure with a toothpick, and place onto a broiler pan. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
Broil until the bacon is just crisp, about 10 minutes, turning once.

I served this as a Christmas Day appetizer. I did not have any dry sherry, so I substituted 1/2 dry vermouth and 1/2 sweet vermouth which worked out well. People really enjoyed this appetizer. It is a bit expensive to prepare at $10 per duck breast...but worth it for a special occasion.

Made this as a Christmas appetizer. Really enjoyed the contrast of flavors. The fat from the bacon was a great compliment to the lean duck meat. Would definetly recommend!

Good recipe. Unfortunately for me I could not find peanut oil and used sesame seed oil instead. Not sure if that was a good thing or not. The duck was cooked perfectly and I liked the water chestnut texture.
