Panda Express Hot Orange Chicken is being launched by the brand as its spiciest menu item yet in a bid to provide diners with a swicy (sweet and spicy) flavor experience this spring. The menu item starts off with the brand's signature orange chicken that's topped with six scoops of crushed chilis alongside a ladle of dried chilies, which the brand uses on its Kung Pao Chicken. The result is a sweet, spicy and savory dish that doesn't skimp on taste or texture.
Panda Express Hot Orange Chicken can be ordered a la carte in small, medium and large size options priced at $5.40, $8.70 and $11.40, respectively. The item can also be ordered in a bowl, plate, bigger plate, panda cub meal or a family meal but only through June 23, 2024.
