directions

  • Remove ducks' legs and breasts, saving remaining bones and wings for brown duck stock.
  • Leaving bones and skin attached, chop breasts into halves.
  • With a cleaver, remove tips of drumsticks to use in stock.
  • Sprinkle all over with salt and pepper, and set aside at room temperature 45 minutes.
  • Then place duck pieces in a Dutch oven with rendered fat, garlic and thyme. Cook over low heat, uncovered, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
  • To test for doneness, pierce with a sharp fork.
  • It should just fall off fork when shaken.
  • Transfer duck pieces to a medium baking dish and add the fat. Let cool to room temperature, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate at least 24 hours or as long as 4 weeks.
  • Before serving, lift duck pieces out of fat. Remove and discard skin and any excess fat by warming slightly on a rack in the oven.
  • Serve duck hot or cold.
