Oven Roasted Duck Leg

Directions

  1. Thaw in refrigerator and than pat dry the duck legs.
  2. Season the ducks legs with salt and pepper.
  3. Place the duck legs in a casserole dish (do not overlap) and add a small amount of rendered duck fat or cooking oil to the dish.
  4. Turn oven on to 300° F and place the casserole dish with duck legs into the oven. (Pro-tip: no need to preheat, let the duck legs warm with the oven.)
  5. Cook at 300° F for 90-120 minutes, then increase temperature to 400° F for another 10-15 minutes or until legs are a golden brown.
  6. For crispier duck legs, remove from casserole dish and place on a baking pan and broil until crispy and golden brown. Remove from oven, strain fat, and let legs sit for 10-15 minutes.
