I believe the answer is:

on the move

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'going' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'them a duck that's in the oven cooked' is the wordplay.
'a duck' becomes 'o' (resembles zero - 'duck' in cricket).
'that's in the' is an insertion indicator.
'cooked' is an anagram indicator (letters cooked into a new form).
'them'+'o'='themo'
'oven' anagrammed gives 'onve'.
'themo' going within 'onve' is 'ON THE MOVE'.

'to give' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for on the move that I've seen is " Travelling".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
