I've a pack of 2 duck legs in the freezer.

What's the best thing to do with them (and don't say "chuck them out!)? Ta.

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.

nom nom nom

I'd just roast them.

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!
