WORD ON THE DOCK

With only a hand full of days remaining for the 2024-2025 SWLA duck season, it seems things are going to stay interesting all the way to the finish line! This past week we had a record snow fall all along the southern border of Louisiana. An official average of 5.5” of snow and 11-degree temps were recorded for our area of the state, with some folks reporting up to 10” of snow fall. Despite these record temps that pushed though, we did not see the migration of birds that was expected. The hunting has been hit or miss with blinds having great hunts one day and going cold the next. Although we did not see the migration we were hoping for, HR&G is excited to see what the remainder of the season holds and finish out strong!

FISHING REPORT

The redfish have seemed to continue the upward trend! After some morning duck hunts, HR&G had several boats go out throughout the week with almost all of them boating limits of redfish along with several oversized that were turned back. Plastic on a jig head tipped with dead shrimp has done the trick.  

HUNTING FACT OF THE WEEK

Duck hunting has been practiced since prehistoric times, with evidence of duck trapping in North America dating back 12,000 years. 

We have some blinds available so call Tanya at (888) 762-3391 and come see what the Hackberry Rod & Gun Club is all about!

This Week’s Yummy Recipe

 

 

BACON-WRAPPED CHICKEN THIGH STUFFED WITH SPINACH AND ARTICHOKE WITH A PEPPER JELLY GLAZE

Prep time 

45 mins 

Cook time 

1 hour 

Total time 

1 hour 45 mins 

  

Recipe by: George Graham 

Serves: 4 

Ingredients 

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter 
  • ½ cup finely diced yellow onion 
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic 
  • 1 (8-ounce) bag fresh baby spinach leaves 
  • 1 (14-ounce) can artichoke hearts packed in water, drained 
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 
  • ½ cup grated Monterey jack cheese 
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream 
  • 1 teaspoon white pepper 
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 
  • 4 large boneless, skinless chicken thighs 
  • 1 tablespoon Acadiana Table Cajun Seasoning Blend 
  • 4 strips smoked bacon 
  • ½ cup pepper jelly 

Instructions 

  1. In a large skillet with a tight-fitting lid over medium-high heat, add the butter. Sauté the onion until it turns translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook another minute. 
  2. Add the spinach leaves and the artichoke hearts. Add a bit (4 tablespoons) of water to create steam and close the lid. Watch as the steam escapes and cook for 5 minutes until the liquid is gone. 
  3. Open the lid and stir the mixture breaking the artichoke hearts down with the back of a spatula or fork. 
  4. Sprinkle the flour over the mixture. Cook until the raw flour taste is removed, about 3 minutes. 
  5. Add the cheese, cream, and season with white pepper, salt, and black pepper. 
  6. Continue stirring until the mixture thickens to a stuffing consistency. Remove from the heat and refrigerate for 1 hour or until ready to use. 
  7. Preheat your oven to 350ºF. 
  8. Remove the chicken thighs to a cutting board and using a sharp paring knife, enlarge the pocket inside each thigh. Season the meat with a sprinkle of Cajun seasoning. 
  9. Using a spoon (or your fingers) pack in the chilled stuffing. 
  10. Close the flaps of the chicken and use toothpicks to hold in place. 
  11. Wrap the bacon tightly around the meat. 
  12. Place the chicken on a wire rack suspended over a baking tray, and move to the oven to bake for 40 minutes until the bacon is browned. Check the temperature with an instant-read thermometer; it should register 175ºF in the thickest part of the thigh meat. 
  13. Remove the chicken and brush on the pepper jelly. Move the baking tray back to the upper rack of the oven and turn the temperature to broil. Watch carefully as the glaze sets and the bacon crisps, 1 to 2 minutes. 
  14. Remove the chicken and serve with extra pepper jelly on the side. 

Notes 

If your chicken thighs are small, then use two and hold them together with toothpicks. Use regular bacon, not the thick-cut version since you want it to cook quickly and seal the exterior of the chicken. I’ve made these thighs as both an entrée and as an appetizer; I cut them in half as a party starter. The stuffing options are endless: boudin and pepper jack, broccoli and cheddar, or Italian sausage and mozzarella are just a few.
