I've got 4 of these buggers in the freezer (legs and breasts on the bone) anyone have a good recipe? I've read about marinating them in Gin?

first -do not over cook -
salt and pepper and sear both sides of a few breast fillets -in a non stick pan - maybe 15 seconds a side - reduce the heat and take equal parts dry red wine and balsamic vinegar (1/8 cup or so of each for four to six breasts ) and pour over it them - cook each side for a minute or so ( until done to medium i the middle) reduce the liquid to a glaze. -
a great appetizer to a game bird meal

We do the marinated breasts (soy sauce, olive oil, ginger) on a spanking hot grille. About seven or eight minutes tops. Must be served rare, or they are ruined in my humble opinion.
