The plant-based chicken — called Beyond the Original Orange Chicken — will be tossed in Panda Express’ sweet and tangy orange chicken sauce.
The sauce is also vegan. Panda Express is partnering with Beyond Meat, a producer of plant-based substitutes, to help create this new menu item.
Beyond Meat is also working with other restaurants around the country to unveil its plant-based chicken tenders. They’re crafted to look, cook and taste like traditional animal-based chicken tenders.
