An extra spicy Panda Express entrée that was previously available exclusively in select markets has made its national debut.
On Wednesday, Panda Express introduced the nation to its flaming hot take on the much loved Southern classic, bourbon chicken.
Blazing Bourbon Chicken is the product of a partnership between the Chinese fast food company and the popular YouTube interview show “Hot Ones.”
If you’re unfamiliar with the show, the “Hot Ones” premise is simple. Host Sean Evans leads a celebrity guest down a gauntlet of increasingly spicy chicken wings while asking questions they are unlikely to be asked by any other interviewer.
As Evans puts it before each episode, it’s the show with “hot questions and even hotter wings.”
Each episode ends with “The Last Dab,” the hottest sauce in the lineup that was developed specifically for the show.
Panda’s new chicken dish featured crispy boneless chicken bites and wok-tossed veggies in a sweet bourbon sauce mixed with the signature Hot Ones Last Dab Apollo hot sauce.
“Blazing Bourbon Chicken is Panda’s spiciest dish on their menu and made with a crispy chicken coating to create an addictive, comforting flavor in every bite,” Panda Express says.
Last year, during the limited run in select markets, Panda Express said consumers had been clamoring for more “complex, innovative and adventurous flavors,” which led to the partnership with Hot Ones.
The menu item is available in participating stores across the country now for a limited time.
