Duck breasts have become enormously popular in part because they are so easy to cook and take so little time. Now most of us can find boneless breasts at the supermarket, but if you have started out with a whole duck, you are going to have those extra thighs. Since thighs take a long time to cook, you may want to save them up in the freezer until you have enough to make it worth the effort to cook them. There are three ways to cook duck thighs: braising, slow roasting, and cooking into confit in their own fat.
