This is a test
Diners in the Chicago area can try a limited-time test of Panda Express’ first walk-and-eat snacking item, Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken.
Inspired by traditional Taiwanese street food, the dish features extra-crispy dark meat chicken tossed in a dry spice blend of tamarind, tomato, garlic and onion, finished with fried kale and served with a side of house-made chili crisp aioli.
Panda Express partnered with Taiwanese American designer and cookbook author Frankie Gaw (aka Little Fat Boy) to create a limited-edition collectible pail, available exclusively in test markets with the purchase of a large à la carte pail while supplies last.
