Instructions

  1. 1

    Season duck legs generously with salt and pepper. Place in a heavy ovenproof pot or Dutch oven.

  2. 2

    Chop onion and carrots roughly. Scatter around duck with smashed garlic cloves, thyme, and bay leaf.

  3. 3

    Preheat oven to 300°F. Pour duck or goose fat over the legs until mostly submerged.

  4. 4

    Cover pot and bake for 75 minutes until duck meat is fall-apart tender.

    Remove from oven and let cool in the fat. Duck can be served warm or chilled and crisped in a skillet before serving.
