Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Put duck legs skin side down in a skillet large enough to accommodate all ingredients comfortably. Turn heat to medium, and cook, rotating so skin browns thoroughly and evenly but do not turn over completely. Meanwhile, peel onion and carrots, trim celery and roughly chop them all.
- When skins are nicely browned, turn and sear the meat side just 1 to 2 minutes, and season with salt and pepper. Remove to a plate; remove all fat from pan except enough to moisten vegetables. Add vegetables and salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, over medium-high heat, until they begin to brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Return duck legs skin side up to pan, and add stock; it should come about halfway up the legs but not cover them. Turn heat to high, bring to boil and transfer to oven.
- Cook 30 minutes, and turn heat to 350 degrees. Cook undisturbed until duck is tender and liquid reduced, at least 30 minutes or a bit longer. Serve immediately, or let rest in a 200-degree oven for up to an hour.

Steps:
- Place duck legs on a rimmed baking sheet; season all over with 2 tsp. salt. Chill, uncovered, at least 8 hours and up to 2 days.
- Place rack in middle of oven; preheat to 325°F. Heat oil in a large ovenproof high-sided skillet over medium. Arrange duck legs in pan, skin side down, and cook until light golden brown, about 5 minutes. Turn over and cook until browned on the other side, about 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat and transfer duck legs to a 2-qt. baking dish (any size or shape will work as long as the legs don't overlap more than slightly). Tuck orange wedges around duck. Pour duck fat from pan into a heatproof container and set aside. Reserve skillet.
- Set reserved skillet over medium heat and pour in wine, scraping up any browned bits from bottom with a wooden spoon. Add marmalade and stir until melted and combined. Add chiles, stock, 1 Tbsp. rosemary, and 1½ tsp. salt. Cook just until mixture begins to steam, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Pour half of marmalade mixture (about 1½ cups) over duck legs, then pour the rest into a heatproof measuring glass and set aside. Reserve skillet. Cover baking dish with foil or an ovenproof lid and bake 1 hour 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine brussels sprouts, 2 Tbsp. reserved duck fat (if you don't have enough, make up the difference with oil), remaining 1 Tbsp. rosemary, remaining ½ tsp. salt, and 1 Tbsp. water in reserved skillet. Toss sprouts to coat.
- When duck had cooked 1 hour 15 minutes, slide brussels sprouts onto rack alongside duck and uncover baking dish. Roast brussels sprouts and duck legs 30 minutes.
- Increase oven temperature to 425°F and shake skillet with brussels sprouts to turn them. Continue to roast until duck skin is deep golden brown and meat is very tender and brussels sprouts are charred in spots and tender, about 15 minutes longer.
- Transfer duck legs to a platter. Using a slotted spoon, transfer brussels sprouts and oranges (they're delicious and we highly recommend eating them, peel and all, but you can discard if you prefer) to platter, arranging around duck legs.
- Combine braising liquid from duck and remaining reserved marmalade mixture in skillet and bring to a boil over high heat (be careful; the handle will be hot!), whisking occasionally, until sauce is glossy and reduced to about 1¼ cups, about 10 minutes.
- Spoon some sauce over duck and brussels sprouts. Pour remaining sauce into a small bowl and serve alongside.
CRISP ROAST DUCK
A golden-skinned roasted duck is a festive main course for any special meal. In this recipe, the bird is doused with boiling water before being scored all over. The boiling water helps pull the skin taut, making it easier to score in a crosshatch pattern. That, in turn, allows the fat to render out as everything roasts. The result is a perfectly cooked duck with pink, juicy meat and burnished, crunchy skin. Serve the bird as is, or with some kind of sauce - either sweet or pungent - such as cranberry sauce, salsa verde or a spicy soy dipping sauce. And save the duck fat at the bottom of the pan. It will keep for at least three months in the refrigerator and is excellent on roasted vegetables, especially potatoes.

Steps:
- Bring a full kettle or medium pot of water to a boil (at least 2 quarts).
- Meanwhile, remove giblets and neck from the duck cavity and reserve for another use. Trim any excess fat from around the duck cavity and the neck. Place duck, breast side up, on a rack in the sink. Pour half of the boiling water all over the top of the duck to tighten the skin. Flip the bird and pour remaining boiling water over the back.
- Once the duck is cool enough to handle, using the tip of a very sharp paring knife, prick duck skin all over to help release the fat, especially where the skin is thickest, and be careful not to pierce the meat. It can be helpful to hold the knife nearly parallel to the bird. After piercing the skin, use the knife blade to score the duck breast in a crosshatch pattern (making deep cuts into the skin only, and not into the breast meat). Flip the bird and score the back as well (you don't need to prick the back). You may need to sharpen your knife along the way, as it's much easier to make clean cuts into the skin with a sharp knife. Using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels, thoroughly pat duck dry, including inside the cavity.
- Season the duck all over, including cavity, with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, combine garlic, chopped herbs, citrus zest and coriander, if using, and make a paste. Rub garlic paste all over duck, inside and out. Place duck, breast side up, on rack in a roasting pan, stuff cavity with herb sprigs, and refrigerate, uncovered, for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours.
- When it's time to cook the bird, heat the oven to 450 degrees. Roast for 30 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and carefully prick duck skin all over the top of the bird using a sharp paring knife. (You don't need to prick the back of the duck.) Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees and continue roasting until skin is golden brown and crispy, and the internal temperature at thickest part of the thigh reads 165 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, about 1 hour to 1 hour 45 minutes longer. Using tongs, gently tip duck to drain any liquid from the cavity. Transfer bird to cutting board to rest for at least 10 minutes. Carve and serve.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Season the duck legs on both sides. Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan set over a medium heat. Place the legs in the pan, skin-side down, and fry until well browned. Turn them over and brown the flesh side. Remove the pan from the heat and pour away most of the fat. Lay the orange slices in the bottom of a ceramic baking dish and top with the duck legs.
- Return the pan to the heat. Add the chopped shallots, celery and carrot, and fry, stirring, for 4 mins to allow the vegetables to brown a little. Add the wine, bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 mins. Add the herbs, garlic and chicken stock, mix everything together, then pour over the duck legs. Tuck the vegetable pieces in between the legs so they are submerged in the liquid. Add just enough water to almost cover the legs, then cook in the oven for 1 hr.
- Meanwhile, add half the butter to a frying pan set over a medium heat. Add the whole shallots and brown all over. After the duck has been in the oven for 1 hr, add the browned shallots and cook for a further 30 mins until tender. Remove the dish from the oven and transfer the legs to a baking tray. Lift out the whole shallots and put to one side. Strain the cooking liquid into a jug and skim off any fat or vegetable debris that comes to the surface.
- Increase oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Place the duck legs back in the oven and let them crisp for 10 mins while you finish the sauce. Boil the liquid in a large pan and reduce until you have about 300ml, then season to taste and add sugar, if necessary. Finally, add the remaining butter and stir to melt, before returning the shallots to the pan and gently reheating. Serve the legs on a bed of buttered kale, drizzling the light sauce around it, with roast parsnips on the side.

- Rinse the duck legs and trim off any excess fat (set aside to render down for long-term storage). Pat dry with a paper towel. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Heat a deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium high heat. When the skillet is hot, add the duck legs, skin side down.
- Turn heat down to medium low, and cook until the skin on the duck legs is evenly golden brown. Do not attempt to move the duck legs until you’ve seared them properly. Flip the duck legs and sear on the other side for 1 minute.
- Remove the duck legs from the pot, and pour off the excess duck fat (strain it into a container and refrigerate it for use in other cooking applications).
- Add the Shaoxing wine, stock, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, white pepper, ginger, garlic, and scallions to the pot. Also throw in the star anise and bay leaf, if using. Return the duck legs to the pot, skin side up. The liquid should come halfway up the duck legs but not cover them.
