Description

Duck fat is hard to find in stores. You need to cut the fat along with the skin from a whole duck, finely slice the duck fat, and render it in a deep skillet. Aim to render as much fat as possible so that the slices eventually turn into crispy cracklings.

Ingredients

Duck wings - 2 pieces
Thyme - 0 oz
Rosemary - 0 oz
Ground Black Pepper - a pinch
Salt - a pinch
Garlic - 6 cloves
Duck Fat - 5 oz
Shallot - 2 heads
Potato - 20 oz
Butter - 0 oz

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Prepare the necessary ingredients.

Step 2

Place a pinch of salt and a pinch of black pepper into a mortar.

Step 3

Add thyme and rosemary.

Step 4

Crush the herbs and spices with a pestle, coat the drumsticks in the mixture, and let them marinate for at least two hours.

Step 5

Arrange the drumsticks in a small baking dish so that they are positioned closely together.

Step 6

Surround the duck with garlic and shallots, and pour fat over it until it reaches the edges of the dish. Place it in a preheated oven at 340°F for at least two hours. At least, because the longer the duck marinates and roasts, the more flavorful it becomes.
