Ingredients

  • 6 duck legs

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

  • 1 onion, sliced

  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch

  • 2 oranges, zested and juiced

  • 7 tablespoons water

Directions

  1. Season duck legs with salt and pepper.

  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add duck legs; cook until skin starts to brown, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a large plate.
