Duck Adobo is a traditional Filipino dish that is typically made with chicken. However, this recipe adapts the classic dish to feature succulent duck meat instead. The rich, savory flavor of the duck combines perfectly with the tangy sweetness of the vinegar and soy sauce, and the chili paste adds a little heat and depth. This hearty meal is perfect for a family dinner or special occasion, and is sure to impress your guests.

Instructions

1.Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and season the duck legs with salt and black pepper.
2.In a large oven-safe skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add duck legs and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
3.In the same skillet, sauté onion and garlic until fragrant and translucent, about 5 minutes.
4.Add chicken broth, seasoned rice vinegar, soy sauce, sambal chili paste, and bay leaves. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.

6.Cover the skillet with foil and transfer to oven. Bake until the duck is cooked through and falling off the bone, about 2 hours.
7.Remove foil and continue to bake until the skin is crispy, about 10-15 minutes.
8.Once done, let the duck rest for about 10 minutes before serving with rice.
