Instructions

1

Pat the duck very dry inside and out. Rub with five-spice powder and salt. Mix honey, soy sauce, and rice vinegar, then brush all over the duck. Place uncovered on a rack in the fridge for at least 4 hours (overnight is best).

Tip: The overnight air-drying in the fridge is what gives you crackling crispy skin. Don't skip this step.

2

Preheat oven to 350F. Place the duck breast-side up on a rack over a roasting pan. Roast for 75-90 minutes until the skin is deep mahogany and crispy. The internal temperature should reach 165F.

3

Rest the duck for 15 minutes. Carve the skin and meat into thin slices.

4

Warm the pancakes according to the package directions (usually steamed for 2 minutes). Spread each pancake with hoisin sauce, add duck slices, cucumber, and scallion strips. Roll up and serve.
