Grilled Teriyaki Chicken

What is it?

Boneless chicken thigh pieces are grilled, then sliced and coated with a teriyaki glaze built from soy sauce, ginger, and honey. At Panda Express, it’s the only grilled entree in the lineup, which sets it apart from the wok-tossed and fried items around it. The sauce leans sweet and glossy, with grill marks underneath and no heat from chile. Because it uses thigh meat, the chicken stays a little richer and juicier than breast-based grilled chicken usually does. Compared with the rest of the Panda Express menu, it’s the lighter-cooking option, but the flavor stays centered on sweet soy and ginger.
