Braised Duck Thighs

Restaurants are often stuck with leftover thighs. In fact, the thighs can make an even more impressive dish than the breasts; they just take a little more time. This recipe offers two approaches. The thighs can be gently roasted, skin side up, until they tenderize in their own juices. Alternatively, the roasted thighs can be moistened with liquid, covered, and slowly braised in the oven or on the stove.
