Bourbon Duck Bites

Ingredients

1 cup steak sauce
1 cup whiskey or bourbon
Salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 pound bacon strips, cut in half
6 duck breasts, de-boned and cut into cubes (can be replaced with goose, as desired)
1 box wooden toothpicks

Directions

Stir the steak sauce and whiskey together in a bowl.
Pour the marinade into a resealable plastic bag and add the duck cubes.
Seal the bag and knead it and turn it over a few times to thoroughly coat the duck. Place it in the refrigerator for an hour.
While waiting for the meat to marinade soak your toothpicks in a bowl of water to prevent them from burning up on the grill.
Preheat a grill for medium heat.
Remove the duck from the marinade and throw away the sauce.
Wrap a 1/3 to 1/2 half slice of bacon around each duck cube (depending on chunk size) and secure with a toothpick.
Cook the duck bites on the preheated grill until bacon is crisp and duck is no longer pink, turning once, 5 to 10 minutes. Allow the bites to cool slightly, and serve on an appetizer/serving plate.
