Here's a dish from the rapidly growing Chinese food chain that should satisfy anyone who loves the famous marinated bourbon chicken found in food courts across America. The sauce is the whole thing here, and it's quick to make right on your own stovetop. Just fire up the barbecue or indoor grill for the chicken and whip up a little white rice to serve on the side. Panda Express - now over 700 restaurants strong - is the fastest-growing Asian food chain in the world. You'll find these tasty little quick-service food outlets in supermarkets, casinos, sports arenas, college campuses, and malls across the country passing out free samples for the asking.
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup soy sauce

Never eaten at Panda Express but this is delicious... especially with fried rice.... if you use corn starch in place of arrowroot (I couldn't find any arrowroot) , use a little more corn starch... mine came out soupy so I doubled it ... then it was too thick.. but still delicious.

Overall, it had the flavor of the original, but was much too sweet. Next time I will use less sugar. I didn't have arrowroot, so I used cornstarch and it worked perfectly.

I found the sauce a little bit too sweet so I would use less sugar next time. The arrowroot did not thicken the sauce enough so I had to use cornstarch too. I further changed it by using chicken breast which I roasted in the oven for 30 minutes and then sliced and added to the sauce. The family liked it very much and even more importantly, it doesn't take long to prepare!!

My family thinks this tastes better than Panda Express's.
