Before you order your usual lettuce wraps and Mongolian beef on your next P.F. Chang’s run, consider this: The chain just launched fried chicken. Even better, you can get it in two forms—and with sides and four dipping sauces to boot.
P.F. Chang’s Just Introduced Fried Chicken to Its Menu (in Two Tasty Ways)
You’re eating out tonight
The Golden Feast stars Korean fried chicken and Taiwanese popcorn chicken. The former is fried until succulent on the inside and crispy on the outside, then coated in your choice of a five-spice dry rub or sweet and spicy Korean sauce. It’s available in three- and six-piece orders for bone-in and four-, five-, eight- and ten-piece orders for boneless. The latter is battered, boneless and tossed in five-spice dry rub, roasted guajillo chili and basil leaves.
In case that’s not enticing enough, the chicken comes with fresh pickled cucumbers and red onions, which are not only drool-worthy, acidic foils for the rich chicken, but also refreshing palate cleansers. Even better, you’ll also get a curated sauce flight with four tasty varieties: sweet soy glaze, dynamite, hot honey and chili crisp.
The winter menu addition is a nod to South Korea’s celebration of the first snowfall, which represents renewal and inspires connecting with loved ones. It’s often commemorated with a glass of bubbly. P.F. Chang’s followed suit with an optional menu pairing of Champagne, prosecco or beer, each of which makes a stellar pairing for juicy fried chicken.
I wouldn’t blame you for following their lead and serving a bucket of chicken instead of a roast turkey for Thanksgiving with a bottle of sparkling wine. Save me a seat, will ya?
