Ingredients

Method

1. Trim excess duck skin from Maryland, place in a cold pan over low heat to release the duck fat.
2. Discard skin, reserving the duck fat.
3. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
4. Place pan over low/medium heat & add duck fat.
5. Season the duck with salt & pepper, add skin side down to the pan, cook until golden in colour then flip over (be careful as the fat may spit).
6. Add remaining ingredients to a pan & bring to the boil.
7. Pour liquid into a baking dish, place duck legs in singular form (the duck legs should not be fully submerged in liquid).
8. Cover with a lid or aluminum foil, cook for 1.5 hr at 180 degrees.
9. Remove duck from braising liquid & place on an oven tray.
10. Increase oven to 200 degrees & place ducks in to achieve a golden skin.
