Duck Leg Open Cut is a premium-quality poultry cut taken from the lower portion of the duck, consisting of both the thigh and drumstick, expertly prepared in an open-cut style for even cooking and maximum flavor absorption. These duck leg open cut pieces are known for their rich taste, tender texture, and natural juiciness, making them one of the most flavorful cuts of duck meat.
Naturally higher in fat than other poultry cuts, duck leg open cut delivers exceptional moisture and depth of flavor, especially when slow-cooked. This cut is ideal for a wide variety of cooking methods including roasting, braising, slow cooking, grilling, pan-searing, and confit preparation. When cooked low and slow, the meat becomes incredibly tender while the skin renders beautifully, resulting in a rich, succulent dish.
Widely used in French cuisine, European cooking, Asian recipes, gourmet dishes, and traditional meals, duck leg open cut is perfect for classic dishes such as duck confit, cassoulet, braised duck leg, roasted duck leg, and stewed duck recipes. It pairs well with herbs, spices, garlic, onions, wine-based sauces, and root vegetables.

Offering excellent yield, bold flavor, and versatility, duck leg open cut is an excellent choice for both everyday meals and premium culinary creations.

Great taste, and the skin crisped up nicely when pan-seared and finished in the oven. My only small criticism is that the ‘open cut’ meant they were a little awkward to handle initially, but once in the pan, the preparation was easy.
Sanjay Patel –
Excellent portion size (just under 500g was perfect for two). The meat looked fresh and had a good color. Prepared these in the oven and they cooked evenly and stayed moist. Will definitely buy again.
Jessica Miller –
Absolutely superb duck legs! I slow-roasted these and the fat rendered beautifully, leaving the skin perfectly crisp. The meat was tender and incredibly flavorful. Restaurant quality at home.
Ali Khan –
The quality of the duck meat itself is fantastic—very rich and juicy, perfect for slow cooking. My only reason for dropping a star is that the packaging, while adequate, could be slightly more robust.
Priya Sharma –
Very good duck leg. The cut was clean, but I had to spend a few minutes trimming some excess silver skin compared to other brands. Once cooked, the flavor was rich and they were very moist. Great value overall.
Eleanor Davies –
High quality roasting duck. The open cut made seasoning simple and thorough. It’s certainly more expensive than chicken, so it’s a treat, but the flavor justifies the price point for special meals. Solid four stars.
