Directions

  1. Season duck legs with salt and black pepper.

  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat, add duck legs, skin side down, and cook until browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove duck legs and drain all but 1 tablespoon of duck fat from the pan.

  3. Cook onion in reserved duck fat over medium heat until onion begins to turn translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add garlic, cook and stir until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.

  4. Stir chicken broth, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sambal chili paste, and bay leaves into onion mixture, bring to a simmer. Return duck legs to the skillet, loosely cover, and simmer until duck legs are tender and easily pierced with a fork, about 2 hours.

  5. Remove cover from the skillet, increase heat to high, and cook until sauce is thick, about 5 minutes, season with salt and black pepper to taste.
