We are happy to announce that this product has been brought back in a more convenient single-piece pack.
Please note that a small amount of feather remnants may remain on this product. Please rest assured that they are not harmful and can safely be removed. Before cooking, please remove any remnants that may be present. Please also note that reddish-brown areas may appear on the skin of some duck legs. This is a natural occurrence caused by melanin pigment settling in the skin due to individual differences between ducks. Please rest assured that this natural coloring does not affect the product’s quality, safety, appearance after cooking, or taste. Thank you for your understanding.
This 240g (8.4oz.) pack contains one range-free bone-in, skin-on duck leg from New Zealand. Duck leg is a popular cut known for its rich flavor, satisfying bite, and generous amount of high-quality fat. The more you chew, the more the rich flavor spreads, and the bone adds extra depth and umami to the meat.
This duck leg is delicious roasted in the oven with herbs, garlic, sea salt, black pepper, and vegetables or rice. It can also be grilled with vegetables for a simple and flavorful meal. We recommend seasoning it simply to let the quality of the meat shine, or glazing it with your favorite sauce for extra flavor. The skin can also be rendered into duck fat and used when preparing this duck leg for an even more moist and flavorful finish. Elevate your meals and impress guests with this versatile, nutrient-rich delicacy.

The ducks are raised range-free on farms on the North Island of New Zealand. They have year-round access to feed and water, and are sheltered in spacious barns with plenty of room to move naturally. They are fed a wholesome diet of non-GMO soybeans and mixed grains to support their well-being. No subtherapeutic antibiotics or growth hormones are used, and no chemical fertilizers or pesticides are used on the farm. The ducks are also never force-fed, fattened, or beak-trimmed. These sheltered barns provide a safe, comfortable, and controlled environment that helps protect the ducks from infection and contamination, including avian influenza A viruses, which are commonly found in wild ducks.

Range-Free Bone-In Duck Legs Recipe Instructions
Thaw in the refrigerator overnight, or until fully thawed.
Score the skin in slices and rub with spices. We recommend only using olive oil, salt and black pepper for these high quality duck legs.
Preheat fry-pan with olive oil (or butter) until very hot. Sear the skin side first until crispy brown.
Then turn over and reduce the heat to low.
Cover with lid to lock in moisture and cook slowly while regularly turning. Cook until the meat is firm to the touch.
Serve with sprinkles of orange and lemon juice and enjoy premium quality and delicious duck legs.
