Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces duck legs
- 2 tablespoons sea salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Pat the duck legs dry with paper towels to ensure a crispy skin.
In a small bowl, mix together the sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and dried thyme.
Rub the duck legs on all sides with the spice mixture, ensuring an even coating.
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the duck legs in the skillet, skin-side down, and sear for about 6-8 minutes until the skin is golden brown and crispy.
Flip the duck legs over and sear the other side for 2-3 minutes.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for about 90 minutes or until the duck is tender and the skin is crispy.
If additional crispiness is desired, turn the oven to broil for the last 3-5 minutes of cooking, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove the duck legs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving hot.
