Let's Get Started
- Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).
- Season the duck legs with salt and pepper.
- Place the duck legs in a deep baking dish. Add the garlic, thyme, and bay leaves.
- Melt the duck fat and pour it over the duck legs, making sure they are completely covered.
- Cover the dish with foil and place it in the oven. Cook for about 3 hours, or until the meat is very tender and can be easily pulled from the bone.
- Remove the duck from the oven and let it cool in the fat until it reaches room temperature.
- Once cooled, you can store the duck in the fat in the refrigerator for up to a week. When you're ready to serve, simply reheat the duck in a 375°F (190°C) oven for about 15 minutes, or until the skin is crispy.
