Panda Express Reignites the Heat with the Return of Blazing Bourbon Chicken

Panda Express Reintroduces the Blazing Bourbon Chicken, a Spicy Fan Favorite, Nationwide This September

A fan-favorite dish is returning at Panda Express, again increasing the fire. Panda Express, recognized for its dedication to quality over quantity, may not frequently introduce new menu items; however, when it does, consumers can anticipate a culinary experience that exceeds their expectations. Their menu is a flavorful blend of Chinese cuisine infused with bold American tastes, and their dedication to spice is a core part of their identity.

Last year, Panda Express collaborated with the famous show Hot Ones to launch the Blazing Bourbon Chicken. This dish quickly gained popularity for its Taiwanese-inspired flavors and the fiery kick of the Hot Ones Last Dab Apollo hot sauce. Starting September 4, 2024, Panda Express is returning this beloved dish to all its locations nationwide.

The Blazing Bourbon Chicken, which features crispy boneless chicken pieces, fresh vegetables, and a sweet yet spicy bourbon sauce topped with crunchy sesame seeds, was a hit last year. Despite its intense heat, it was well-received for its balanced flavors, especially when paired with rice.

For those who love spicy food but missed out on the Blazing Bourbon Chicken last year, September is the perfect opportunity to try Panda Express’ spiciest dish ever. Fans have already expressed their excitement on social media, with many dubbing it a favorite.

Though new to the menu, fans hope it will become a permanent fixture alongside the Blazing Bourbon Chicken.
