Panda Express is well known for chicken-based dishes like its famous orange chicken, and now the chain is giving fans a different way to enjoy the lean meat in the form of its new Hand-Breaded Chicken Strips.
Just as the name suggests, the new Hand-Breaded Chicken Strips are carefully crafted chicken strips with a crunchy breaded exterior. More specifically, you'll find all-white meat chicken that's been seasoned with the brand’s custom seasoning blend, coated in breading, and fried until crispy. The chicken strips are then served with a side of crispy crinkle fries, and your choice of dipping sauce – either Creamy Sweet Chili Panda Sauce or Hot Habanero Honey.
The new dish is available exclusively from Panda Express's Innovation Kitchen in Pasadena, California.
