Step
1
When ready to cook, set Traeger temperature to 350°F and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes.
350 ˚F / 177 ˚C
2
Heat a 3-quart saucepan over low heat, and melt the butter. When melted, add the onions, garlic, and sugar and season with sea salt. Stir well, cover and cook until softened and starting to caramelize, 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the red wine, vinegar, and lemon zest. Set aside.
3
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Add the duck legs, skin-side up, and transfer to the grill. Cook for about 8 to 10 minutes, until the skin is starting to crisp and the meat easily breaks apart with a fork. Shred the meat with 2 forks.
