Panda Express teams up with Hot Ones to release limited edition Blazing Bourbon Chicken

Made with an added six scoops of crushed chilis as well as a ladle full of dried chilis, it kicked the classic up a notch. Now, the brand is rolling out its fiercest dish yet, which makes its debut on Wednesday, July 16, 2025.

The new menu item features a combination of crispy boneless chicken pieces, fresh vegetables, as well as the Hot Ones’ Last Dab Apollo sauce.

For those who don’t already know, Hot Ones is an American talk show hosted by Sean Evans, who regularly hosts celebrity guests on the show who are encouraged to try increasingly spicier sauces while they’re being interviewed. Their first official branded hot sauce, The Last Dab, was released in 2017.

You can expect this plateful from Panda Express to be a fan favorite too, as the whole reason why it’s gracing menus across the country is that it proved to be so successful in a test run back in 2023.
