Cooking Instructions

Here's a cooking instruction for Duck Leg Free Range:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Score the skin of the duck leg with a sharp knife. This will help the fat render and the skin crisp up.
3. Season the duck leg generously with salt and pepper, or any other preferred spices or herbs.
4. Heat a skillet or oven-safe frying pan over medium-high heat. Place the duck leg, skin side down, in the pan and sear it for about 4-5 minutes, or until the skin is golden brown and crispy.
5. Flip the duck leg and sear the other side for an additional 2 minutes.
6. Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and roast the duck leg for about 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Cooking times may vary depending on the size of the duck leg, so it's best to use a meat thermometer to check for doneness.
7. Once cooked, remove the pan from the oven and let the duck leg rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute and ensures a moist and tender result.
8. Serve the duck leg with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.

Enjoy your deliciously cooked Duck Leg Free Range!

Storage Instructions

To ensure the optimal freshness and quality of the Duck Leg Free Range, it is important to store it properly. Keep the duck leg in the refrigerator at a temperature below 40°F (4°C). If the duck leg is in its original packaging, ensure that it is tightly sealed or transfer it to an airtight container or resealable plastic bag to prevent any potential cross-contamination or exposure to odors. Stored correctly, the duck leg can be refrigerated for up to 2-3 days. If you don't plan to use it within that time frame, you can also freeze the duck leg. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place it in a freezer-safe container or bag. Frozen duck legs can maintain their quality for approximately 3-4 months. When ready to cook, thaw the duck leg in the refrigerator and use it promptly for the best flavour and texture.
