Removing Duck legs

Doing that you're losing the skin which is the best bit and has most of the flavour locked in. However, if that's what you want to do, peel the skin back after you've taken the breast out and then cut the layer of meat on the inner thigh. Push the bone back to dislocate it and then continue the cut and that's the leg. Pull it away and cut the bone away just below what would be the knee joint.

 

Have a go at plucking the legs and you can make your own confit duck - It really is worth the effort.

I put both ducks and chickens in a bowl of warm water with a tiny amount of of non scented washing up liquid to really wet the feathers including the down on ducks. Give it a good swish about, then pluck. The warm helps the feathers come off and the water with the detergent as a wetting agent stops the feathers floating about.
