• You can also make herbal jelly, compress and tea.
• When you want it boil in step 3, you should have the flame to be high. Later on, you can get it to be less once you see bubbles.

 The Do and Don’ts while preparing Panda Express Grilled Asian Chicken

• The chicken should not be frozen neither cold. If you are using fresh chicken thighs, that is wonderful. If you are using frozen that is good too as long as you are thawing it.
• Let it come to a normal temperature so that you can grill to perfection. The name is “grilled Asian Chicken” thus emphasis on the grilling part more than anything.
• Use Cornstarch its popular agent for thickening in cooking but adding it straightaway without mixing in cold water will make it form solids. You have to make a slurry with any cold liquid and in this case, water.
• Cornstarch is not added at the beginning because if you add it at first it will lose its thickening properties and make the sauce liquidly and thin.
• The paste should not be too runny as well. Wait for the boil before you make and add the slurry.
• Cooking cornstarch from the start will break down the starch and make the sauce thin.
• Measuring spoons can help when you are trying to make a copycat recipe of Panda Express as it will make it as similar as possible to the original restaurant. If you can get it to be as close as Panda Express, it will have a dramatic flavor.

Don’t Forget to

Cook the chicken till is ready for consumption. Don’t overcook. Never serve uncooked chicken to your family or guests. A meat thermometer is recommended.

Do not deal with the raw chicken on a wooden surface and wash your hands before you start to carry on with the cooking. Use a small bowl when mixing the oil to the chicken pieces. It will not coat the chicken properly if the bowl is too small.
