How To Make spicy chinese duck legs

  • Step 1
    Place everything except the duck legs in a food processor and process until well blended. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Step 2
    Place the duck legs skin side up in a baking pan. Pour the blended sauce over the top of the legs. Add a little water into the food processor and swirl it around to catch all the flavorings. Pour the water into the pan with the duck legs but don't submerge the legs.
  • Step 3
    Place in oven uncovered for 2 hours basting with the sauce, adding more water if needed.
  • Step 4
    Increase the oven to 400 degrees. Stop basting the legs and cook 30 more minutes. Serve.
