Did you brine or soak the breast meat at all? If so what do you like to use for brining or soakimg?

Also, how long did you cook them before adding the bbq sauce? Thanks for the recipe!

Brine soaking always helps or you can let sit in a marinade...italian dressing works well for a few hours prior to cooking which adds a little flavor.

You don't want to add the bbq sauce until close to time when you are ready to remove from heat, otherwise the sauce can burn. However, I think there is a better way:

I make up several different bbq sauces and dips and let the guests or diners dip their own according to their preference. 5 or 6 different bowls with the dips. One particularly easy dip is a mayo/mustard combo that I also like to use as a pretzel dip. Has a very pleasing taste when jalapeno duck poppers are dipped. "No double dipping!!"
Another is to add a little horse radish to any of the sauces to give a little added "kick". Also, a 1000Island/Ranch is quite good.

I marinade my ducks in buttermilk and garlic with a tablespoon of cajun seasoning. I prefer Beazell's or Cajunland seasoning.
