Sweet & Sour Chicken

What is it?

Battered chicken breast pieces, fried until golden, come with a separate cup of bright red sweet-and-sour sauce. At Panda Express, it sits closer to the brand’s older American-Chinese lane than sauced-and-tossed items like Orange Chicken. The breading is light and crisp, so the pieces hold their crunch until you dip. That sauce leans sweet first, then brings a mild vinegar tang, with the usual red color you’d expect from this style. Because the sauce stays on the side, you control how much each bite gets.
