Crispy Chicken legs using the Confit method

I saw this on DDD. They used leg quarters, boned out the thigh, the cut off the tip of the leg. They put down a piece of parchment paper on a sheet pan, then sprinkled on salt, white pepper and thyme. Then placed the chicken on top and added some more salt, pepper and thyme on top. The placed the pan in the refig overnight, uncovered to cure the chicken. The next day they rinsed off the chicken and sort of shingled it in a deep pan with some garlic cloves and added enough vegetable oil to just cover the chicken. Cover with foil, cook it covered at 350* for 3-4 hours. When ready to serve they take out a piece, pat dry, salt and pepper, place skin side down in a hot pan. When the skin is crispy and chicken is heated through it is ready.

I haven't tried this yet, but plan to!!!
