Ok before you read the title and wonder why there is a duck breast in my picture instead of a leg. I did go to the store to get legs but they only had 2 left and they looked like they had seen better days. I had planned on making this as part of my recipe swap this month as I have had this one saved for ages and have just not got round to trying it. The marinade is awesome and the flavour it imparts is just wonderful I accidentally got side tracked and over cooked my breast. I was really annoyed as I thought I had ruined them but thank god for the marinade because they were still very moist.

Ingredients
2kg Duck legs
3 Garlic cloves, crushed
2 Star anise
1/2 Teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 Teaspoon red chili pepper flakes
2 Teaspoons sesame oil
3 Tablespoons soy sauce
3 Tablespoons sweet chili sauce
2 Tablespoons rice wine vinegar
4 Tablespoons green ginger wine
Method
1. Marinate duck in remaining ingredients for about 8 hours (from the morning until dinner time is good). Turn occasionally through the day.
2. Heat oven to 160c/330f.
3. Remove the duck from the marinade and lay on a foil lined baking sheet.
4. Bake for 2 hours or until very tender.
5. You may need to pour off the fat a couple of times during the cooking time.
Serve with rice or noodles, I served ours over braised cabbage
