Step 1 Salt the duck legs with about one-half teaspoon salt for each leg. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Step 2 Rinse the duck legs with cold water and pat them dry.
Step 3Heat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large ovenproof pot, bring to a simmer over medium heat enough duck fat to cover the legs. Once the fat has come to a simmer, place the legs in the pot. Cover and cook in the oven for about 2 hours.
Step 4Allow the duck legs to cool in the fat. Using tongs, remove the duck legs from the pan. Remove the skin and pull the meat from the legs.
