If the legs are not covered, you can top it off with some olive oil. As the legs cook, more fat will be rendered from the skin. Cover the dish with a lid.
4. Bake for 6 to 7 hours in the preheated oven, until the meat pulls easily from the bone. Remove the duck legs from the fat and place in a sealable container. You may leave the bones in or remove them. Make sure there is room at the top of the container. Strain all of the solids from the remaining fat and discard the solids. Pour the fat over the duck in the container, covering completely. Seal and allow to come to room temperature. Once the jar is cool, place in the refrigerator and let the duck meat cure for 2 months. Reserve any leftover duck fat for other uses.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you confit a duck leg?

Duck legs are an easy meat to confit. Cure (salt) the duck legs overnight, then slowly cook them in plenty of duck fat. Duck skin is particularly fatty, and you can save rendered duck fat from roasting a whole duck or pan-roasting duck breasts. Duck fat is also available from most butchers.

What kind of fat do you use to make duck confit?

The traditional method of preparing confit involves using pure duck fat to cook the legs. I like to make this delicacy a bit more affordable (and pack in more monounsaturated fats) by using a 50:50 blend of duck fat and avocado oil.

How do you cook duck legs in duck fat?

Melt the duck fat in a large pan which can fit all of the duck legs in a single layer. The duck fat should be at a temperature of 100°C / 212°F. Arrange the duck legs in the duck fat in a single layer, together with some bay leaves and sprigs of thyme.

Are confit duck legs worth the wait?

Confit duck legs are particularly worth the wait – cooked long and slow in duck fat flavoured with aromatic herbs until meltingly tender, preserved in that fat, then roasted quickly until crisp and golden. Duck legs are also great value compared to breasts.
