Woo Can Cook | Hot and Spicy Orange Chicken
Hello! hi everyone, Wesley here. Today we're diving back into our series dedicated to reproducing classic Americanized Chinese cuisine with yet another addition to our ever growing collection of Panda Express recipes, with a shot at their newest limited time menu item, which is a "hot orange chicken." A quick dive down the internet rabbit hole known as reddit led me to discover that the prevailing opinion about the Panda Express hot orange chicken is that it's really pretty mild, even for the weakest among us, which to be honest, doesn't surprise me all too much.
From what we can see in their official release, the dish is essentially their standard orange chicken (for which we did a video on a few months back, by the way), combined with two chili elements, these appear to be dried Tian Jin peppers and red chili flake. So! for our version today, I think we can heat this up a little bit more (while still staying relatively true to the core orange chicken concept). This is gonna include a bit of dry toasted Sichuan peppercorn, Chinese doubanjiang chili paste, Tian Jin peppers, sweet chili sauce, and of course, our housemade chili crisp oil, totaling five (yes FIVE) different sources of heat in this dish. oof. Hope you try it.
