(FOX 5/KUSI) — Panda Express is about to crank up the heat.
The American Chinese food chain is testing its newest and spiciest entreé, Dynamite Sweet & Sour Chicken, in several U.S. markets starting this week.
The new menu item uses the fiery kick of Buldak, the renowned South Korean sauce. This new dish is the first time Buldak’s producer, Samyang, partners with an American chain.

“Buldak’s legendary heat is the perfect spark to reinvent an American Chinese favorite,” said Evelyn Wah, the vice president of brand innovation at Panda Express. “As the first U.S. restaurant brand to partner with Buldak, Panda is proud to introduce Dynamite Sweet & Sour Chicken — a bold, explosive, and shareable experience that our guests, especially Gen Z, crave. It’s the spiciest dish we’ve ever launched, bringing a new level of heat to our menu like never before.”
The new dish takes the traditional sweet and sour flavor and brings up the intensity to crispy chicken breast bites coated in rice batter, tossed in a wok and accompanied with red bell peppers, onions and the custom Buldak sauce.
Dynamite Sweet & Sour Chicken will be available starting Tuesday, August 5, until October 7 at the following test markets: Atlanta, Denver, Chicago, Houston, New York, Orlando/Daytona/Melbourne, Phoenix (Prescott), San Diego, Seattle-Tacoma, and Washington, D.C. (Hagerstown).
