Roasted Duck Legs is a dish often served at festive tables. The duck legs are slowly roasted at a low temperature, while the meat becomes tender and the skin becomes crispy. The dish is a truly special treat, often served at Christmas and Easter dinners. Roasted duck legs are often accompanied by apples or red cabbage, but can also be prepared with various side dishes. Seasoning is key, as the spicy and slightly sweet flavors perfectly complement the rich meat of the duck.
This dish is worthy of special occasions and every bite provides a true culinary delight.
Clean the duck legs and rub them with salt, pepper, crushed garlic cloves, and marjoram.
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the duck legs on both sides until golden brown.
Place the seared duck legs in a baking dish and pour the water into the bottom.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and roast at 320°F (160°C) for approximately 2 hours, or until the meat is tender.
Remove the foil for the last 20 minutes of cooking time to allow the skin to crisp up and turn golden brown.
