Chukar hunters - Pluck or Breast?

[RockAndSage]

Curious about how you all prepare your chukar most often - do you pluck the bird, or are you breasting them out?

(PS, good recipes would be welcome)

I mostly breast them and save the legs as well.

Curry, braise in wine and herbs, make schnitzel, barbacoa style, pozole, you name it.

Made some fettuccini Alfredo style the other day. Way good.

I usually breast them out simply by habit, but certainly don't object to the skin.

Is grind and make burgers an option?

Neither, skin them whole.

Mostly breast them and take the legs and thighs it they aren't to shot up. I will pluck a few each year to roast. Pluck them when they are warm and it's pretty fast but the skin is thin so you have to use some care. I did spatchcock one from yesterday just to try a different cooking method.
Chukar can be used in any recipe that uses chicken.
But chukar chili is one of my favorites

Skin them or breast them, salt and pepper, wrap in bacon and grille. Boner city.

I like to just rip the skin off.....it's my way of getting back at them one last time.
