Sweet Fire Chicken – Just Like Panda Only Better

One of Lisa’s favorite Panda Express Entrée options is Sweet Fire Chicken. But being on the road, a lot of places where we camp doesn’t have Panda Express, so making it at home is a great option to have it anytime you like. With an amazing sweetness and just the right amount of spice, it’s a fairly simple meal to make.

In the last couple of months, I’ve been honing my skills of stir-frying on our Blackstone Tailgater. I love having the grill and griddle combo for making a variety of amazing meals. This meal can be cooked on the flat-top grill or in a large skillet. We like to double the recipe to have leftovers the next day. This homemade version is super easy to whip up for a great weeknight meal. If you’re short on time you could cut down on time further by using frozen chicken nuggets.

Fry Chicken on a flat top griddle or in a skillet.
