Peking-Style Chicken Wraps

These Peking-style chicken wraps offer a fresh and vibrant take on classic East Asian flavours, combining succulent grilled chicken thighs with a zesty, homemade plum sauce. The marinade of ginger, garlic, and honey provides a deep, savoury glaze that caramelises beautifully under the grill, while the fresh plum adds a natural sweetness that cuts through the rich soy and hoisin base. It is a wonderful alternative to a traditional takeaway, offering a lighter yet equally satisfying meal that is perfect for a quick midweek dinner.

As a high-protein dish, this recipe is ideal for those looking for a nutritious, filling meal that does not compromise on taste. The addition of crisp spring onions provides a refreshing crunch, making these wraps a hit with the whole family. Simply serve everything at the centre of the table and let everyone build their own for a relaxed, interactive dining experience.
