Panda Express is heating things up this summer with its new Hot Orange Chicken.  

Available now until June 23 (or while supplies last), this exclusive dish is the brand’s spicy twist on the fan-favorite entree, The Original Orange Chicken… but with an added sweet heat of six scoops of crushed chilis and a ladle full of dried chilis, which are the same chilis used in Panda’s Kung Pao Chicken.  

“Leveraging our expertise as the creators of The Original Orange Chicken, we have a deep understanding of American Chinese fried chicken," commented Panda Express’ Senior Culinary Innovation Manager, Chef Adrian Lok.
