KFC and other Fast Food : "We guard our secret recipe in vault somewhere in the desert."
Panda Express : "So this is our Executive Director, he will cook and show you how to make our best recipe in the menu."
Kfc already been cracked buddy.
You miss the joke mate.
Hahaha no one liked your comment, how does it feel to be a troll? Rhetorical question.TaTa!
I think Panda Express confidently shows off their keystone recipe because frankly, its a ton of work, and I'd rather go to my local Panda and pay someone $12 to give me a triple Orange Chicken.
@@tatjanakanashiro2559 this is gebius becaus eit actually shows their quality to skeptics who think of them like any other fast food.
Taking the time to go at making the orange chicken the right way,is understanding the ingredients that makes the flavor and tastes so delicious to eat.
same applies to cooking anything the right way
I love how we all have a connection to such a simple dish. I definitely love Orange Chicken.
nothing simple about it
i remember as a teenager who was utterly obsessed with becoming a chef, i worked FOH at my local panda express. I specifically remember begging the cooks to teach me the recipes but the furthest i ever got was throwing down teriyaki on the grill and getting to chop it. I'm actually pretty grateful to see this vid come out, really brings back memories from those early days
What do you do now? Are you a chef?
@@human-connections i stayed in the industry for a few more years and then left because of burnout. working as a physical therapist aide at the moment but will be helping out with a friend's food truck pretty soon
Where is the recipe listed? I don't see it in the description.
Thanks for sharing! Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
this is pretty cool for a company to just come out and be like, this is how we do it.
Panda Express has places in China. Imagine being a immigrant to a nation, opening up a restaurant that’s reminiscent of your birth nations food, be successful, open up a business in the nation your immigrated from. That’s fucking wild to me
all closed up though lmao because compare to authentic chinese food panda is still trash
but yea i miss orange chicken very much
That's amazing!!! I'm not going to make it but I'll order some tomorrow : )
they dont make it like that anymore. it comes in a bag frozen and the sauce is a package.
That's not true. This person just posted that they make it from scratch a little while ago. Unless they just started making it from frozen like this month. th-cam.com/users/shortswOmC12qrgNM?feature=share
@@BayAreaSun deep fry the frozen chicken just like in the video and bring the sauce which you'll have already made to a simmer, it's literally the same thing.
I'd like to see more about this topic. How culinary directors of major chains create iconic dishes. I betcha the orange chicken he made doesn't taste anywhere near the chicken you'll get at a panda express. There's always a disconnect from the top to the plate. Always!
what makes you say that?
@@ThomasPerezGhost Scale. It’s one thing for the Culinary Director to make an easily repeatable recipe and a whole different thing altogether to make it in huge quantities quickly.
@sanger yoo but the way this is made lends itself to repeatability at scale. It uses a double fry, therefore the initial fry including the chicken pieces and seasoning can all be done ahead of time. Same with the sauce. That way only the final fry and combination with sauce needs to happen in the kitchen.
@@ThomasPerezGhost I was thinking the same thing. If you ever go to the grocery store, in the frozen foods aisle, you can buy kits like that (they come in bags). All you have to do on your part is just heat it up in your pan (less than 10 minutes I think). It makes sense if Panda Express had a similar system on a larger scale for their eateries
likely because his is made by hand and the stuff in the mall comes premade frozen in a bag and they flash fry it then dump it in sauce mix
This looked delicious orange chicken.
I eat at Panda about 3 times a month
Best Recipe , best Tutorial! Thank you to tell us the secret!!
A lot of freshness to fry a chicken..fried just like that
I will totally make this
INGREDIENTS
for the chicken:
3 cups|415 grams all-purpose flour
1 cup|145 grams cornstarch
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground white pepper
1 large egg
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for frying
2 pounds|920 grams boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch-by-1-inch cubes
for the orange sauce:
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
½ tablespoon minced garlic
½ teaspoon minced ginger
½ teaspoon chile flakes
¼ cup|50 grams light brown sugar
¼ cup|55 grams granulated sugar
¼ cup|60 ml orange juice
¼ cup|60 ml white vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon sesame oil
One spot here had actual taste of orange in the chicken. Quiet different but still good.
Perfect I love sweet chicken
Watching this high on Christmas 😂
Lmao same
Drunk
Gross
@@Bayarea408 🤣
I Love orange chicken from Panda Express. That's all I order when I go.🥰 Thanks for sharing the recipe, but I'd rather just go and enjoy it at P🐼nda Express.😋😋😋
Bigger plate...triple orange chicken lol.
Damn... now I want Panda Express
Where is the recipe below like he said?
Merry Christmas!
Where's the recipe?
If you search on TH-cam jimmy wang orange chicken, there's a video there by Tasty where the ingredients are actually listed
where can we find the proportions for the seasonings?
I think he is holding out. I have NEVER had a good orange chicken without some orange peel or orange oil extract. Plain orange juice has very little orange flavor once cooked.
caramelizing the sugar and vinegar is the culprit of the soury taste plus the twist of orange juice that's how 'orange chicken perfect taste'.
No need to mix up other synthetic ingredients.
تبدو لذيذة تسلم ايدك عام جديد سعيد
I need that sweet fire chicken breast recipe 🤌🏻
CHICKEN TERIYAKI BOI
Somehow I don’t think this is the same Orange Chicken I’ve been eating at Panda my whole life…
Muy bueno
When did you put in the MSG?I misssed it
Where’s the recipe ?
YUM 😋
STRING BEAN CHICKEN AND TERIYAKI CHICKEN, PLEASEEEEEE
🔥🔥🔥
You forgot all the perspectives, and freezer burn from storing that delicious chicken in bags in the deep freezer😋 .
Looks. Good. Handsome
Funny, I has subtitles on, and it wrote "Hoag" when he said Whole egg lol
What’s a hoag?
Where is the recipe?
🍊🍗
With all of these steps, I’ll just go to the restaurant 😩😩😩
That’s too much to think about right now
Breading and sugar. When you think you have enough. Add more sugar.
❤
وين الشمندر؟
I'm a huge fan of orange chicken but without the spice tho.
👍🍻😁
Uncle roger feeyooo we’re the god dam MSG
Orange chicken is fukin delicious. Unfortunately panda express is kinda expensive in my country :/
I use Tang in my orange chicken
🖤🐲
Dude forgot the msg
From lndia
The secret is sugar lol
This double fried technique is different than the video he did 4 years ago for Tasty. 🤨
someone turn on the damn lights
Where is the msg?
In the soy sauce.
Where is the freaking recipe 😫
So, they're like boneless wings? Not hating at all. I eat panda all the time, just genuinely curious.
Yes, obviously haha. What did you think you were eating?
@@WinedandDined27 I just somehow never though about it lol.
Did you not watch the video? It’s chicken thighs. Bet you were top in your class.
@@oniflash773 I did, but I missed that part. No need to be a dick.
No MSG? Sad.
hehe wang
who follows up on QA/QC at the restaurants? I had orange chicken from my local store last week, and it was absolutely horrible. little to no sauce, "chicken" was mostly batter.
i was just typing - wen he batters the chicken . look how much drops into the oil. each piece is 50% batter!
this guy is responsible for some of the nastiest shits in america
respect
general tso > orange chicken
change my mind
Mmm. Sugar chicken.
it doesn't look quite the same 🥲
Idk if you've ever been to pf changs but this is the recipe they use. Panda express definitely uses msg in their sauce which he didn't add
@@MayorMcheese12 I dont think MSG would have affected the look of the chicken...
@@ThomasPerezGhost well yeah I know I'm just saying this isn't really close to the same recipe. Whether it looks the same or not
Im sure there is some food coloring in the chain version to appear more “orange”
Definitely he will not give you the exact secret recipe 😉
this musik is to loud
Most people will not get the irony of posting this on christmas 🤣🤣
we get it, a christmas story is racist now
Panda Express near me closes at 9, but if you place your order after 8, 80% of the time they will cancel it and say they're closed. You get your taste buds all prepped for orange chicken, and boom you get a big middle finger.
Hi
That better was wayyy too thick but he stuck to his guns and went with it.
No MSG?!?! Then I No make or eat....
There's no way this guy had the balls to say these are inspired by anything close to chinese food
You'd be surprised. Orange chicken has its origins in a dish where the "orange" part comes from aged tangerine peels. You make it a little less salty, a little more sweet, replace the tangerine peel with orange juice, and you've got something pretty close to an American-Chinese orange chicken.
So little orange I am surprised. No zest or nothing. Weird.
If the version he made was offered at Panda’s Distress…people wouldn’t chuck their styrofoam boxes of it it after the first bite.
Facts
@@504chris I don’t know of a truer truth.
@@CountryDick you need to get outside it sounds like
don’t try to lie to me this is not how make orange chicken of express panda. it looks totally different ever
What actually happens at Panda Express...
José opens a bag of frozen chicken parts into a fryer, puts it in a wok, then dumps a can of goop onto it, making it soggy and overpowering with the taste of vinegar.
I'm pretty sure they make it in a giant warehouse, freeze it then heat up in the fast food restaurant, no? Lots of preservatives in the sauce etc. They are not making it from scratch.
I don't think that's what they're implying in this video. They're just teaching us a way to make it at home. But no this wouldn't be practical for a huge fast food chain like panda express
Panda Express actually does quite a bit of actual cooking in the restaurants.
Panda express orange chicken is not crispy in the sauce and there is also more sauce in there too lol
1
Or get orange chicken sauce from the grocery store.
He said look below for the full recipe. It's not in the description and this recipe is slightly different from most, lame.
Looks nothing like how it does in the restaurant lol
It like if they grill a McDonalds hamburger outside on fire and put on an brioche bun with fresh picked lettuce. How McDonalds is made! I think Panda express shit comes frozen and they reheat.
@@Andrewnutrition obviously it does, they mass produce it. They batter and par fry gigantic quantities at once, make thousands of gallons of the sauce at once, then ship it out to each individual location. All that’s done at the location you buy it at is they do the second fry on the already par fried and pre seasoned chicken and then coat the chicken in the pre made sauce. He’s telling you how to make this at home, not how each individual dish is made at the chains. Chains streamline everything. That’s how a chain works.
Panda’s Distress is nothing but scoops of greasy lumps of lumps that make you sad that someone would sell this to you.
First
So good but so bad for you 😩🤤
Jesus loves you-!!
Iconic?
Not exactly useless, gets the concept over but without relative quantities of ingredients it’s not that beneficial if one wishes to duplicate the recipe.
Perhaps the concept was to shill in other viewings but I was unable to find the ingredients list with quantities and don’t feel like spending 20 minutes to go find it.
It’s honestly sad that my first visit to this channel made me not want to go back to it again. How difficult would it have been to announce during the video what the proportions were?
It’s called cooking to taste…
@@megaming7238 Umm. Hope that was levity…
@@SpiritWolfNJ Nah, the comment makes sense. Any kind of savoury cooking is better done to taste since the ingredients like soy or vinegar can differ from brand to brand. The only thing missing here was a clear indication of the temperature, but then again, that depends on the weather, the meat, etc as well.
It's cause Chinese food is a staple during Christmas day. It's essentially an ad. He said recipe available in the description too
I’m going to have to disagree with that…
I spent a good portion of my earlier professional life in more than a few kitchens and I can honestly say that you start with a base, and once you’re familiar with your base, then you can improvise.
Salt is a good example.
It’s easy to put salt in, and, for some reason, seems to be ridiculously difficult to remove ;-)
Certain things are on a need to know basis, and relative proportions for a formula, in this case the recipe, are important.
In some of the kitchens I worked in, you had to taste everything that went out to the public. You had to follow the recipe; the formula. Deviate and you had to answer for it. And it didn’t take much.
It shouldn’t matter that it’s professional or otherwise. Wrong amounts of baking soda, baking powder, salt, yeast, etc., will make life unhappy. Better to make start with known quantities and improvise once you understand what’s going on.
thickening liquid aka thiquid
Orange extract not a real orange
so much better with breast meat instead of thigh. dark meat is for the poor.
2 cups of sugar, WTF. for sure health hazard.
this music is pissing me off
Broo... Brooo... Order in Chinese..... brooo!!!
😂😂😂 Lazy ass
