Panda Express celebrated Happy Orange Chicken Day by bringing fans together for a day dedicated to its most iconic and best-selling dish—the beloved Original Orange Chicken.
Known as the Home of the Original Orange Chicken in the Philippines, Panda Express continues to satisfy cravings with the signature dish’s bold combination of sweet, tangy, and lightly spicy flavors. First introduced in 1987, Original Orange Chicken helped redefine American Chinese cuisine and went on to become a cultural phenomenon.
The dish features crispy chicken wok-tossed in an irresistible orange sauce, making it a favorite among longtime fans and first-time diners alike. Whether shared with family and friends or enjoyed as a personal comfort meal, Orange Chicken has become a go-to choice for many Panda Express customers.
Turning Up the Heat
For those who prefer a spicier experience, Hot Orange Chicken made its “swicy” comeback on July 15. The fiery variation features six times more crushed chilies and scorched dried chilies, adding an extra kick to the familiar Orange Chicken flavor.
The spicy option offers fans a new way to enjoy one of Panda Express’ most recognizable dishes while satisfying those looking for a bolder flavor experience.
An Orange Chicken Celebration
This year’s celebration brought the Orange Chicken experience to life through an immersive Orange Chicken Kitchen at Panda Express SM Megamall.
Featuring an All-Out Orange concept, the space included decorated window decals, a claw machine, and a giant takeout pail where guests could capture photos and celebrate their love for the dish.
Adding to the excitement was a friendly Team OG vs. Team Spicy showdown, giving fans the chance to represent their favorite version—Team OG for Original Orange Chicken or Team Spicy for Hot Orange Chicken.
The celebration also featured special offers for Orange Chicken fans. Guests can enjoy 10% off with a minimum spend of ₱699 when ordering through GrabFood, with Orange Chicken included in the offer.
From everyday cravings to meals shared with loved ones, Orange Chicken continues to hold a special place among Panda Express favorites. With its signature combination of familiar flavors and satisfying crunch, it remains a dish that brings people together for any occasion.
