Ingredients
-
6 duck legs
-
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
-
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
-
1 large onion, sliced
-
8 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 ½ cups chicken broth
-
1 cup seasoned rice vinegar
-
½ cup soy sauce, or to taste
-
2 teaspoons sambal chili paste, or other hot pepper sauce to taste
-
2 bay leaves
Directions
-
Season duck legs with salt and black pepper.
-
Heat oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add duck legs, skin-side down, and cook until browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate; drain all but 1 tablespoon fat from the skillet.
-
Cook onion in reserved duck fat over medium heat until it begins to turn translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in broth, vinegar, soy sauce, chili paste, and bay leaves; bring to a simmer.
-
Return duck legs to the skillet, loosely cover, and simmer until duck legs are tender and easily pierced with a fork, about 2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
-
Uncover, increase the heat to high, and cook until the sauce is thick, about 5 minutes; season with salt and black pepper to taste. Discard bay leaves before serving.
Chef's Notes:
You can substitute chicken or pork for the duck. If you do, you may just have to cook it a little less.
You can partially cover the pot with its lid or a lightly oiled piece of parchment paper.
