Duck Preparation
- 1
Season the Duck
In a bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, thyme, and minced garlic. Rub this mixture all over the duck legs, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight for best flavor.

Prepare the Duck Legs
After marination, remove the duck legs from the refrigerator. Pat them dry with paper towels to ensure a crispy skin during cooking.

Heat the Oil
In a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven, pour in the vegetable oil and heat over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Fry the Duck Legs
Carefully place the breaded duck legs into the hot oil, frying them in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 8-10 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

Drain and Serve
Once fried, remove the duck legs from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot garnished with lemon wedges.
