Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Season the Duck

    Rub duck legs with five-spice powder, salt, and pepper. Let them marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.

  2. Cook the Duck

    Preheat your oven to 130°C (275°F). Place the duck legs in a single layer in a deep baking dish. Scatter the crushed garlic around the duck. Melt the duck fat and pour it over the duck legs, ensuring they are completely submerged in fat.

  3. Slow Cook

    Cover the dish with foil and cook in the oven for about 2 hours, or until the meat is very tender and easily pulls away from the bone.

  4. Crisp the Skin

    Before serving, heat a skillet over high heat. Remove the duck from the fat and place skin side down in the skillet. Cook until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
