Default Reheating duck legs

I have been so fortunate as to come to possess two yummy already cooked duck legs. How do I reheat them so that they will stay yummy? (I have no microwave, so that's out) Not that I would do that anyway.

Assuming the duck legs are well done and tender already? Braise some root veggies with a bouquet garni or some other whole herbs in some vegetable stock and add the duck legs about 15 minutes from when you expect the veggies to be done.

Default Thanks

They are indeed already done and tender. Can I use chicken stock instead of veg? Not sure I have any veg stock around here......

Sure you can use chicken stock. Taste it first to make sure it's not too salty. If it's too salty add some water. You may even want to thicken it a little after you remove the duck legs. Just slightly with some cornstarch and water.

Gently reheat in some stock and wine in a covered pot. Perhaps the addition of a couple of spices would enhance the dish.
