As you would guess this Hot Ones Blazing Bourbon Chicken from Panda Express is available for limited time. If you are unaware of what Hot Ones is, it is a YouTube talk show. It is by the channel First We Feast and they interview celebrities asking them unique questions. They broke many world records of spicy sauces and this time they have teamed up with Panda Express for Panda’s Spiciest Dish yet. Let’s Dive right into the fire:

Panda Express Blazing Bourbon Chicken Dish 

As Hot Ones is a show based on the spiciest sauces, I was pretty upset just how not so spicy this dish really is. The sauce they are using is The Last DAB Apollo Sauce which is at an extreme level of heat. However, even with this Apollo sauce I was not getting extreme heat coming from the dish.

Blazing Bourbon Chicken contains:

  • Chicken (duh!)
  • green bell peppers
  • red chili peppers
  • onions
  • Hot Ones The Last DAB Apollo Sauce

It smells like charbroiled heat coming from this dish and it as a sweet notes of smell to it. As you eat, you are getting sweet taste along with spice. Once you bite into the red chili peppers you are feeling the heat, otherwise you are just tasting sweetness. The Last DAB Apollo Sauce isn’t really making this much spicier than I thought it would. The red chili peppers are naturally hot to begin with. Overall, I think more Apollo sauce should have been used so it could be spicier regardless of the chili peppers or not.

Also, it needs more green peppers and more onions. Just to mention that I absolutely love the way the green peppers are cut. All said, I love the taste and everything is perfect except for the heat. As it is based of Hot Ones YouTube Show, I would expect something a bit spicier than what it really is. Otherwise, amazing smokey, sweet, and spicy flavor and it is available only in limited Panda Express Restaurants. According to Panda it is available until January 2, 2024 so get it while you can.
