- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 pieces Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Step 2
Pat the duck legs dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This will help to achieve a crispier skin.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine the salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and dried thyme.
Step 4
Rub the duck legs thoroughly with the olive oil, ensuring that they are well-coated.
Step 5
Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the duck legs, rubbing it into the skin.
Step 6
Place the duck legs on a roasting rack in a baking dish, ensuring that the skin side is up.
Step 7
Roast the duck legs in the preheated oven for 90 minutes.
Step 8
After 90 minutes, increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) to crisp up the skin, and roast for an additional 20-30 minutes or until the skin is golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Remove the duck legs from the oven and let them rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve the crispy roast duck legs with lemon wedges for added flavor.
