Chili‑Honey Glaze
¼ cup honey
2 tbsp chili crisp or chili oil
1 tbsp soy sauce

Instructions
Prepare the Duck
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Pat duck dry and season with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.
Place on a wire rack over a baking sheet and roast 35–40 minutes, until skin is crisp and meat is tender.
2. Make the Chili‑Honey Glaze
In a small saucepan, combine honey, chili crisp, soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, and orange zest.
Simmer on low for 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened.
3. Toss & Crisp
Remove duck from oven and cut into bite‑size pieces.
Toss with glaze and return to oven for 5 minutes to caramelize.
4. Make the Citrus Herb Slaw
Combine cabbage, fennel, orange segments, and cilantro.
Drizzle with olive oil and rice vinegar; season lightly.
5. Serve
Pile the slaw onto a platter.
Top with the crispy duck bites.
Finish with extra chili crisp or orange zest for flair.
This elevated dish brings a little luxury to game day- but it’s just as irresistible any night of the week. Enjoy!
