Now that I have the recipe, I don't think I'll ever need to go to Panda Express ever again *goes anyways*

Why am i binge watching tasty videos while fasting again?

Who else is on there bed just drooling by looking at this

Just made this. Listening to the other commenters, I adjusted the water and flour amounts in the batter, and made double the sauce. End result tasted really similar to what you really get from Panda Express today.

"The story goes all the way back to 87..." Knowing Chinese recipes he was either going to say 87 BC or 1987

I was expecting some Instagrammy Buzzfeedy hack to present their idea of... No. They got a guy representing the Brand directly. That's impressive. You'll never get that out of The Colonel.

This recipe is amazing! Some suggestions for people just watching this and wanting to make: 1. With 2 lbs of chicken the dough quantity shown is way to much. In the dough keep everything the same except only use 1.5 cups of flour and 0.5 cups of starch. If dough is too hard add some more water until you get that pancake consistency. 2. If you don't have an oil thermometer, just fill the pan with oil and put the temperature high (but not all the way) and wait like 7 mins. Once you start cooking lower the temp to medium and you're golden. 3. DOUBLE EVERYTHING for the orange sauce. Just literally take all the numbers for the orange sauce and double them. It will make the perfect amount of sauce for 2 lbs of chicken. (could go a little easier on the vinegar also). This will feed 5 very hungry people. Enjoy :)

As pregnant I had this craving since long time, and I am very grateful Panda Express shared this recipe, I followed it and WOW, me and my boyfriend ate the whole plate! THANK YOU!

Anybody else watching this knowing full well they don't have the ingredients for this and even if they did, they cannot be arsed to do it?

Ok, so after doing this about 5 times I can suggest this: 1. the water needed is a little over 2 1/2 cups, as already suggested by someone here. 2. drop the sesame oil at the end, or just use a hint of it. The dish lives well without it. Other than that, fantastic recipe!! Thanks to Panda Express for sharing this.

I tried this recipe and it’s amazing 😍 The flavors really show through. I was wondering how it would taste this good cuz there’s very little ingredients but it turned out well. Definitely making this again

I love how they actually show you the recipe for their orange sauce !

WARNING FOR THOSE MAKING THIS RECIPE: The video says 1 & 1/2 cups of water, but the real recipe is supposed to be 2 & 1/2 CUPS OF WATER. Says on the website that it is 2 & 1/2

guess whos cooking orange chicken at 2:30 in the morning.

I just cooked it for my family and I used 1 cup cornstarch, 1 cup flour and way more water for the batter to get the consistancy shown on screen!

Taehyungs PANDA EXPRESS AYYY

I followed this recipe exactly and omg it came out so good!! Literally taste better than Panda Express and I love Panda express!!

Listen up! I made this and it went well, I want to tell you my experience! 1. when making the batter, i'd say to only use 2 cups of flour (not 3), and add 2 cups of water (not 1.5) 2. if you wanna use black pepper instead of white, it went well for me. 3. when heating up the pot of oil, if you don't have a cooking thermometer, i'd say to put it at about medium-low heat. I initially made mine way too hot, and it does not need to be too hot at all. seriously. if you have numbers on your stove dial, i'd put it at "4" (if you want to check, at first, just put 1 nugget in the pot and leave it for 6 minutes, and see how it turns out. Then go from there.) 4. when making the sauce, keep in mind that you will not be putting all of the chicken in there. the sauce in the video will only be enough for about a quarter of the chicken you cooked. 5. I was only cooking for myself, and have been left with a bunch of leftover fried chicken. I am simply going to store it away for later, and just cook up some sauce whenever I want to have this dish again!

Came back to say, I've cooked this four times since the start of quarantine, and it's a family favourite!

I LOVE PANDA EXPRESS. WoOOoW -Kim Taehyung.

It bothers me that he did not put all the chicken in the pan

I feel like I'm going to come out of this quarantine never buying fast food again since I'm learning how to make all the dishes I love.

me: hears Panda Express also me: Kim Taehyung

I see now why taehyung from bts love this so much 😂

With a name like Jimmy Wang, you know this guy's legit.

PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU MAKE THIS! I made this last week and it turned out fantastic however, there is a critical error in the directions. If you make this recipe with 3 cups of flour, 1 cup of corn starch and only add 1.5 cups of water, you will end up with a big ball of dough and nothing resembling pancake batter. I think they meant to say 2.5 cups of water. After adding the additional cup of water and enlisting a beater to help me get the lumps out, I was back in batter territory. Keeping all that in mind, It will probably be a good idea to cut the batter recipe in half (adjust for the additional water if you do). With the recipe as they have described, you not only end up with way too much batter that will get dumped, you will spend extra time fishing through it trying to find all your chicken bits. Your tongs will get coated in batter and will probably make a bigger mess than necessary. Half way through the process, I ended up fishing all my chicken out and transferring them to a smaller bowl. Plenty of batter came with to the smaller and more manageable bowl and I ended up dumping the rest. Finally, the sauce. Its not enough for the whole batch of chicken. Fortunately for me, my wife wanted some of the chicken without the sauce so I was saved. If you want enough sauce for the whole batch, you might want to make double the recipe, then, remove half the sauce from your frying pan and coat the chicken in batches. Probably two batches if you have a big frying pan. I don't think you can coat all the chicken at once (perhaps I'll try a wok next time). Also on the sauce, mine thickened up fast once I added the corn starch...just.a little too think. Next time, I am going to be a little more deliberate in adding the starch to the sauce and might not add all of it. Hope this helps! Family loved this and can't wait for me to make it again.

Made this last night and it was incredible! Texture was just perfect. Thank you!

I got so excited to try this today I started cooking without realizing I was missing some ingredients. I had to substitute orange juice with lemon juice and the vinegar with rice vinegar. But it still tasted Exactly the same as Panda Express! This is amazing, I almost never need to go to Panda Express again now 😅

Always got to get Orange Chicken when you go to Panda!

Because of Covid 19 I’ve lost my job. I used to flight at least 1 time per month and it’s been all ready 6 months since i haven’t been in USA. This is one of the things I miss. When I saw this recipe I couldn’t resist to prepare it. I’ve done it and it’s delicious. Thanks for sharing!!!!

Thank you! Also, to everyone that commented the changes to make for the recipe!

I wish I never watched this. Now I’m craving orange chicken . 🤤🤤

Never would've expected this would be porn during the 2020 quarantine.

I follow the recipe from the beginning to the final and OMG, exactly how he show in the video. Thanks

* taehyung has entered the chat * Taehyung be like : I love panda express

I made this and heard the angels whisper to me, "My child, you should try this sauce for chicken wings." And then I went to heaven and came back.

I made this recipe and the batter for the chicken is actually 2 1/2 cups of water, NOT 1 1/2 .

It’s THE best!!! Other recipes look so dry but these turned out glossy and sticky. Delish!! 😋

I've tried other recipes but this one is the most flavorful crunchy and easiest to make!! Thanks for sharing!! Thia will be apart of our at home menu!

Couple tips: When frying in batches, keep the chicken that's been fried in a warm oven, so it doesn't get cold while you are frying the rest. Maybe ~150F. I wish I did this. Unless you like your chicken super sweet, tone down the sugar suggested for the glaze.

I'm too lazy at the moment, so I'm gonna go hit up Panda Express. Brb.

Outstanding video. Wow you made that one look easy! Thank you for adding your measurements so that I can make this dish at home. Again, great job.

Modified recipe! (Thanks to y’all in the comments. Basically I just halved the batter, used less of the flour and more water, removed the sesame oil, and doubled the sauce) Chicken: 2 lb chicken (thighs) 1/2 tbsp salt 1/2 tsp white pepper 1/2 cup cornstarch 1 cup flour 1/2 egg 1 cup water 1 tbsp oil Sauce: 2 tsp vegetable oil 1/2 tsp chili flakes 1 tsp ginger 2 tbsp garlic 1/2 cup white sugar 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup orange juice 1/2 cup vinegar 4 tbsp soy sauce 2 tbsp water+2 tbsp cornstarch mixed together (you may not need all of it, I’d say try and add it in slowly) To make it: Cut the chicken into 1 inch cubes. Set aside. In a bowl, whisk the salt, white pepper, cornstarch, and flour together. Add the egg and the water. Whisk well to combine. Mix in the oil. Mix the chicken with the batter, and put it in the fridge for 30 minutes. Heat a pan with oil to 350F. Use tongs to gently place the chicken into the oil. Fry in batches, and make sure you fry the chicken for at least 6 minutes, or until golden brown. Add oil, chilli flakes, ginger, garlic, both sugars in a pan. Turn the heat on (medium-low ish) and stir it. Add in the orange juice, let it boil a bit. Add the vinegar and soy sauce, and when it’s boiling add in the water-cornstarch slurry slowly, while stirring. You may not need all of the slurry. Keep on stirring it until the sauce thickens, and add in the chicken. Stir, until the chicken is coated. Serve while hot.

TIP: swap water with cold club soda/sparkling water for more crunch!

Watching this during quarantine doesn’t make sense... am hungry and its late at night

Short and precise. ❤️ Easy to follow. Thanks!

watching this in 2021 and it still makes me crave

What happened to the "OH HO HO YES" part

This recipe is so good. Just made it for my parents they loved it they never imagined a fifteen year old could cook this type of meal 😂😁

Orange chicken is my all time favorite this looks amazing I'm totally making this!

I just made this, and it was amazing!! i am not a stick to the recipe type of cook, but I did with this and it turned out amazing!!

Am I the only one who never tried Panda Express here? wow didn’t expect this to get 2k likes thanks (any one watches anime here?)

*V: **_i LOvE pAnDA eXprESs_*

That was so well taught, excellent

PANDA EXPRESS WHOO!PANDA EXPRESS WHOO!PANDA EXPRESS WHOO!PANDA EXPRESS WHOO!

Ladies... if he introduces himself and his name is Jimmy Wang, _he's the one_

I’m 99% sure I’ve seen a cook at Panda Express dump a large bag of breaded chicken into the wok before pouring sauce on it.

I made this tonight and it is very tasty, not quite like our local panda express but really good and I will make this often! I did cut the flour and corn stretch in half, I used 3 pounds of chicken thighs, and I tripled the orange sauce and there was just enough of everything!

The recipe is excellent. It is a staple in my house. A couple of small changes that I personally made: water in batter according to feel,used lemon juice instead of vinegar, more orange juice at the end to dilute the batter - approximately 1 cup total. Simply delicious. Thanks!

thigh meat salt white peper cornstarch flour egg water oil veg oil chilli flakes ginger garlic sugar brown sugar orange juice vinegar soy sauce water+cornstarc sesame oil

This is not "really good", this is AMAZING. It tastes delicious, it's actually very easy to make once you have your ingredients ready, I loved it!

I've made this once before and it was amazing.

Best dish I never cook before. My family loves this! ❤

love how he just decorates the table with *ginger* and *oranges*

You have no idea how happy this makes me Me and my bff have been apart for 4 years now due to my father beige in the army. When I made it to my new house, she called me and now it's an everyday thing to FaceTime eachother once a day. One time when we were talking, we both were amazed to figure out both our favorite food was orange chicken and rice (with tater tots). It became a little joke between to say 'when we're together again, the first food we'll have together will be orange chicken and rice! (With tater tots of course).' Today my dad announced he got hired back in her area and that we're moving back. I can't wait to surprise her with this the day I see her again (hopefully soon ;D).

Perfect! I plan to apply to Panda soon and was gonna try a recipe first, so to find a recipe on how to make Panda’s orange chicken is not what I expected to find but excellent!

I feel like a wizard chef. So good.

I remember when Panda Express didn't serve 5 day old food and it was actually edible...I miss those days.

2:32 Omg I’m Drooling

Taehyung must be eating this everyday

That looks absolutely amazing, incredible and appetizing.Thanks for sharing this yummy and

I substituted the deep fried chicken with big popcorn chicken, it works. For anyone short on time I suggest this.

The grandpa who speaks Cantonese was da real mvp lol He keeps saying "good job" which is cute 😂😂😂

Thank you, for telling us what part of the chicken you've used! 👏🏽👏🏽

Its literally so good

I made this tonight and it was delicious!! I’ve tried other orange chicken recipes and never turned out good but this one was great!! I did have to add more water than what he said to because it turned out more like a dough instead of a batter but overall was really good 5 stars!

I made this for my family tonight... ❤️ Everyone loved it so much there was no left-overs..

Just tried this recipe 💕. Came out GREAT !

With minor changes, this has been the best thing ive tasted omg!!!!!! my whole family loved it and finished it within minutes

Just made this. I added shallots, red and green chilies to the orange sauce while it reduced. ....it was amazing!

I’ve followed this recipe and it was the best exactly like Panda Express orange chicken. Now that I’m overseas and no Panda Express here I’m gonna make this again today and hopefully get the same flavors that I’ve been missing ❤️

Thanks for sharing this recipe. I adore these flavors and can eat it everyday 😋

thank you, been using this for a while now and love it.

I made this for my family and they were all amazed! It tasted super good!!! Thanks for the recipe.

I usually have my own recipes but this one is SO good! Can’t stop making it.

Excelente receta. Gracias.

Wow I wish the orange chicken I got from panda express actully looked and probably tasted that good tf and was even somewhat close to that amount of suacyness

When you're inside your home and you are on quarantine... Then this pops up, you watched and then you feel like.... You wanna scream your lungs out!!!

In 2012 I went to USA to work on a cruise ship, that's the first and the last time i work on cruise ship. when I arrived in tom bradley international airport i was so hungry but don't have enough money to buy any food. And came one of my senior associate and he said "I know you're hungry",he brought a box of food from panda express and asked me to join him having it since the portion was to big for him to ate it all alone. Inside the box there were rice, 2 dumplings and orange chicken. Thats the first and the last time i ate orange chicken. Thanks for giving the recipe, since i coudn't go to USA for the second time. This mean a lot for me. Thank you🙏

Just made this today so so so good.

Making this dish right now!! Thank you for sharing. ❤

I eat this danm near once a week...its down the street from me

Came out PERFECTTTT!!!! And yes use more water in the batter. 👌🏾

Must try. Very delicious

This actually came out pretty good! Tweaked the recipe a bit but it was amazing!

I literally used this batter for everything is so good, kids love it just plain as nuggets without the orange sauce👍

Who else remembers when they posted this the first time 🙌🏻

Omg this was the most amazing orange chicken recipe I have tried. I wish I had seen it before spending my non existent fortune on Panda Express!!!
