Estimated Reading Time: 7 minsCategory: Poultry Recipes1. Preheat the oven to 400 °F (204 °C). Make sure one of the racks inside the oven is in the center position before preheating your oven. Don’t cook anything in the oven until it’s completely heated or else your food will not cook evenly.
2. Remove the skin from one side of the duck legs. Use a thin chef’s knife to slice into the skin on each duck leg. Slide the knife underneath the skin to separate it from the meat. Only remove the skin from one side so you can enjoy the crispy skin once it’s cooked.
3. Crisp the skin on the duck legs in a skillet over medium heat for 15 minutes. Lay the duck legs so the skin side is down. Leave the legs in the pan until the skin gets brown and crispy, which should take around 15 minutes at medium heat. You don’t need to add any additional cooking oils since the legs will cook in the duck fat. Use a large skillet that can hold all of the ingredients and is safe to use in the oven.
4. Peel and dice the onion, carrots, and celery while the duck legs cook. Remove the outer skin from the onion with your hands and use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin from your carrots. Use a chef’s knife and a cutting board to dice the veggies so they are ⁄2 by ⁄2 inch (1.3 by 1.3 cm) cubes. This ensures that they cook evenly. Use any root vegetables you want, such as parsnips or scallions, for different flavors.

Total Time: 2 hrs 10 minsCategory: Main CourseCalories: 250 per serving1. Pat the duck or goose legs dry with paper towels. If you have store-bought duck legs, prick the skin of the duck all over with a needle or the point of a sharp knife. Do not pierce the meat itself. Piercing the skin gives the fat a place to seep out. Salt your duck legs well and set them aside, skin side up. Let them come to room temperature for at least 30 minutes and up to 90 minutes.
2. Put the legs in a small casserole. How small? You want the casserole to be just big enough to hold the legs. Now you need some fat. If the legs themselves are fatty, you will only need to pour a thin sheen of oil or melted duck fat on the bottom of the casserole, then place the duck legs close together, but not overlapping. If the legs are skinny, add enough fat to come about 1/4 inch up the sides of the dish.
3. Put the casserole in the oven and turn it to 300°F; if you have a digital oven, you could even go down to 285°F. Do not preheat the oven. Every duck has a different level of fat, so doneness is more an art than a science. But it will take at least 90 minutes, and probably two hours, and even 3 or 4 hours won't hurt them. After 90 minutes, check the duck: It should be partly submerged in melted fat and the skin should be getting crispy.
4. When the skin is starting to look crispy, turn the heat to 375°F. Check after 15 minutes. You’re looking for a light golden brown. Remove the casserole from the oven and let cool for 10 to 15 minutes before eating. Save the accumulated fat for cooking vegetables, other meats or for keeping your skin shiny. I strain the fat through a paper towel, but you really only need to do this if you are saving the fat for several weeks or months; strained, it will keep for 6 months tightly covered in the fridge. Well wrapped, the duck meat itself will last up to 2 weeks in the fridge.
