1
Prepare the Duck Wings
Pat the duck wings dry with paper towels and season with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
2
Melt the Fat
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, add the duck fat (or vegetable oil) and heat over medium-low heat until melted.
3
Add Aromatics
Once the fat is melted, add the crushed garlic, thyme, peppercorns, and bay leaves to the pot. Stir to combine and let cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
4
Confit the Duck Wings
Gently add the duck wings to the pot, ensuring they are fully submerged in the fat. If necessary, add more fat or oil to cover the wings completely.
5
Cook Slowly
Cover the pot and cook on low heat for about 2-3 hours, or until the duck wings are tender and the meat is easily pulled from the bone.
6
Cool and Store
Once cooked, remove the pot from heat and allow the duck wings to cool in the fat. Once cooled, transfer the wings to a container, cover with the fat, and refrigerate until ready to use.
7
Serve
To serve, reheat the duck wings in a hot oven or skillet until crispy and warmed through. Enjoy!
