- ½ tsp Chinese five-spice
- 1 tbsp (15ml) runny honey

How To Make Slow Cooker Honey And Hoisin Duck Wraps
- Prepare the Slow Cooker: Place the sliced onion at the bottom of your slow cooker. Pat the duck legs dry with kitchen paper, then place them on top of the onion.
- Make the Sauce: In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, Chinese five spices, honey, brown sugar, garlic granules, and sesame oil. Brush this mixture onto the duck legs. Cook on low for 8 hours.
- Crisp the Duck (Optional): Once the duck is cooked, for crispy skin, finish it off in a preheated oven at 200°C / 400°F / gas mark 6 for 8–10 minutes, or use an air fryer at 200°C for 5 minutes.
- Assemble the Wraps: Shred the duck and divide it between the tortillas. Add the spring onion, cucumber, and lamb’s lettuce. Drizzle with hoisin sauce and roll up the wraps. Serve with chunky chips on the side.
Recipe Tips
- Pat the Duck Dry: Make sure to dry the duck legs thoroughly before placing them in the slow cooker. This helps achieve crispy skin later when you finish cooking them in the oven or air fryer.
- Use Fresh Veggies: Fresh spring onions and cucumber add crunch and freshness to the wraps, enhancing the overall flavor and texture.
- Adjust the Hoisin Sauce: If you like extra flavor, feel free to add more hoisin sauce to your wraps, or even drizzle it over the duck while it’s cooking.
- Optional Crisping: For extra crispy duck skin, don’t skip the step of finishing the duck in the oven or air fryer. It really makes a difference in texture!
- Prepare Ahead: This recipe is great for meal prep! You can cook the duck ahead of time and store it in the fridge for a few days, then assemble the wraps when you’re ready to serve.
