Orange Chicken from Panda Express (CopyCat Recipe)

Orange Chicken from Panda Express (CopyCat Recipe)

Orange Chicken and Panda Express go together like the Big Mac and McDonald’s and the Whopper and Burger King. When you pick up your Combo Plate, you always have to fill one of your entrees with the delicious sweet and tangy, Orange Chicken.

Panda Express seems to be a staple in most strip malls or shopping centers. Currently as of the writing of this post, they are only in 45 states with the only holdouts in the North East of the US. (Sorry Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Rhode Island.)

Finding this recipe was a difficult task and took a while to perfect, but this is my best guess and I think it comes pretty dang close.

Holy Guacamole

Holy Guacamole

Holy Guacamole is a perfect addition to any Mexican meal. Put it in your burrito, on top of your enchiladas, or just directly inject it into your veins. All are perfectly acceptable.

Why does Guacamole turn brown?

It starts with a little chemical called polyphenol oxidase which is present in Avocados. When that chemical is exposed to oxygen, it oxidizes and causes a reaction that develops a pigment, turning the avocado brown.

How you combat that, is to keep the Guacamole in an airtight container and introduce some type of acidity such as lime or lemon juice.

Honey BBQ Sauce from Buffalo Wild Wings

Honey BBQ Sauce from Buffalo Wild Wings

If it is one thing you can set your watch to, it is the fact that whenever we go out to Buffalo Wild Wings, my wife orders the Boneless wings with Honey BBQ sauce.  She doesn’t stray from her classic order EVER.  To be fair she is consistent anytime we order any type of wing.

She is a BBQ girl.

Me on the other hand, I love to try all the different sauces like Asian Zing and the Parmesan Garlic Sauce, I have even ventured to the insanely spicy sauces.  I hope to compete in the spicy wing challenge they have.

In her honor, we present to you the Honey BBQ sauce recipe from Buffalo Wild Wings!

Check out the other Buffalo Wild Wings Sauces we have made.

How to make Big Mac Sauce at Home

How to make Big Mac Sauce at Home

The Big Mac is one of those things that is synonymous with America. Normally babies first words are “Big Mac and a Coke, please”. There is just something about the combination of 2 all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, onion, pickles on a sesame seed bun that hypnotizes the senses.  I can’t think of any other burger that has captivated society as much as this one has.

How to make Big Mac Sauce

On the very first episode of Hungry Doug, we take a look at the Big Mac, where we make our own and show you how to make the sauce that can go on pretty much anything.
