PANDA EXPRESS MANDARIN CHICKEN

Here's a dish from the rapidly growing Chinese food chain that should satisfy anyone who loves the famous marinated bourbon chicken found in food courts across America. The sauce is the whole thing here, and it's quick to make right on your own stovetop. Just fire up the barbecue or indoor grill for the chicken and whip up a little white rice to serve on the side. Panda Express - now over 700 restaurants strong - is the fastest-growing Asian food chain in the world. You'll find these tasty little quick-service food outlets in supermarkets, casinos, sports arenas, college campuses, and malls across the country passing out free samples for the asking. Recently, Panda Express took this item off their menu and replaced it with Grilled Teriyaki Chicken. Celebrate this dead food by continuing to make it at home.
