Beijing Chicken or Pork Wrap is a celebratory finger food commonly served during festivities in China and Chinese households all around the world. It's a versatile dish that can be made with either chicken or pork and a sweet hoisin sauce or a savory Peking sauce, both wrapped in thin and crispy wheat pancakes.
The chicken or pork is marinated in a savory mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, sesame oil, and spices, then roasted or pan-fried until tender and flavorful. The hoisin sauce is a thick, sweet, and tangy sauce made from fermented soybeans, while the Peking sauce is a savory and slightly spicy sauce made from fermented soybeans, vinegar, and sesame oil.
The wraps are assembled by spreading a thin layer of sauce on a wheat pancake, adding a few slices of chicken or pork, and topping with shredded vegetables such as cucumber, scallions, and carrots. The pancake is then rolled up tightly and served immediately with additional hoisin or Peking sauce for dipping.
In this article, you'll find two recipes for Beijing Chicken or Pork Wrap: one using chicken and hoisin sauce, and the other using pork and Peking sauce. Both recipes include detailed instructions and helpful tips to ensure you make perfect wraps every time.

Steps:
- Pare the zest from the orange in thick strips then mix with the soy sauce, sherry and fivespice powder in a large food bag. Bash the garlic cloves and ginger with the back of a knife to bruise them, then add to the bag and give everything a good mix. Put the chicken in the bag, rub the marinade all over the flesh then leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 3 hrs, overnight ideally.
- Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Remove the chicken from the marinade (keep it for later). Halve the orange and put both halves inside the cavity along with the bashed ginger and garlic from the marinade. With the chicken sitting on a rack in the sink, pour a kettleful of boiling water over it. Pat completely dry with kitchen paper. Set the chicken on its wire rack over a roasting tray and roast for 50 mins per kg or until the juices run clear when the thigh is pierced with a skewer.
- Strain the marinade into a pan along with the honey. Bring up to the boil then simmer for a couple of mins. Just before serving, turn the oven up as high as it will go. Brush some of the marinade all over the chicken. Return to the oven and cook until the chicken is crisp and browned. This will only take a couple of mins. Leave to rest, uncovered, for 5 mins. Serve with the remaining warmed marinade, some plain rice and bok choi or spinach stirfried with a little garlic and oyster sauce.
