Orange chicken calories: the published number and your plate
Panda Express Orange Chicken is crispy battered chicken tossed in a sweet-and-tangy orange glaze. Most of its calories come from the fried coating and the sugary sauce, so the number moves with the serving size and how much sauce is on it — and a lot more if you pair it with rice.
