Spicy duck legs in the oven

2 servings

55 minutes

Spicy duck legs in the oven are a refined dish of French cuisine, combining the rich aroma of spices and the tenderness of duck meat. Duck marinated in soy sauce, olive oil, garlic, and fragrant ginger acquires a deep flavor with a hint of spiciness. Dijon mustard adds a special velvetiness and refined sharpness. Baking under foil keeps the meat tender and juicy, while the final roasting gives an appetizing golden crust. This dish is perfect for a festive dinner or a cozy family gathering, harmoniously pairing with a glass of red wine and a light vegetable side dish. Historically, duck holds a special place in French gastronomy.
