  Why would anyone say to throw them out?
  
  I'd confit them.

  So would I, but if I wanted to use them now i'd roast them low and slow for basically the same dish.

  Because there's always a comedian somewhere on these boards!

  I have a small Pyrex dish which should take 2 legs snugly, so I'll give this a try.
  Those temperatures look to be in fahrenheit, so I'll need to convert.

  That's true. There's a big to-do in the Ben & Jerry's thread. I can't remember which other food thread there was a battle last week. Incredible really.
  
  I'd no Nigella's recipe. Hassle free.

  Put them in at around 150C/Gas mark 2 - very low oven, and don't pre-heat the oven, if you want to try the confit.
  
  Jackie's recipe looks good too. Nice and easy.

  throw them out??! noooo!
  
  I love duck legs. I do a variety of recipes depending on the spices and stuff I have in the cupboard.
  
  Slash the skins. Make marinade with soy sauce/ honey/ 5 spice or plum sauce/ water/ chilli jam/ or honey/ mustard (or whatever takes your fancy! Once made a lovely one with homemade plum jam and 5 spice!) . Bung the legs in for a couple of hours then either oven cook (just follow cooking temps and times for other duck leg recipes) or I pan fry them sometimes to get a nice crispy skin.

  Thanks all. Going to give it a try.
  
  I'm already handy with duck breasts, serving those with an orange and mango sauce.

  This is a delicious recipe for duck legs, I make it quite often! I tend to reduce the sauce while the legs are resting so it ends up a bit stickier and serve it with crushed new potatoes roasted off in the oven and some steamed broccoli. Yummy!
