Slow-cooked for crispy skin and tender, juicy meat.

Ingredients:

4 fat duck legs
4 tablespoons soy sauce
3 teaspoons five-spice
1 handful star anise
½ stick cinnamon
1 tablespoon olive oil
1-2 fresh red chillies deseeded and sliced
16 plums halved and destoned
2 tablespoons Demerara sugar

Instructions:

Combine duck legs, soy sauce, five-spice, star anise, cinnamon stick, and olive oil in a sandwich bag for at least 2 hours, or up to 2 days in the fridge for enhanced flavor. Transfer duck legs into a pan, casserole, or roasting tray. Add chillies, plums, and sugar to the bottom of the tray. Pour the marinade over the ingredients, mix well with your fingers, and place the duck legs on top. Roast in a preheated oven at 170°C/325°F/gas 3 for 2 to 2½ hours until the meat is tender. Discard star anise and cinnamon stick. Adjust seasoning with soy sauce if needed. Serve with Chinese pancakes, rice, or noodles with the plum sauce.
