Duck leg quarters

Duck leg quarters are portions of duck comprising the thigh and drumstick, separated from the whole bird. They are one of the most popular cuts of duck for home cooking, as they are slightly more manageable than a whole bird while retaining all the rich, fatty qualities of duck meat. They are well suited for classic oven roasting, slow braising, or preparing confit. They pair beautifully with braised cabbage, beetroot, lentils, or fruit-based sauces such as cherry or orange. The skin becomes wonderfully golden and crispy during slow roasting.
