Panda Express Mushroom Chicken: Easy Homemade Takeout

4 days ago | copykat.com | Stephanie Manley

The first time I tried Panda Express, I was a broke college student looking for a quick meal between classes. While my friends gravitated toward the Orange Chicken, I was immediately drawn to the Mushroom Chicken. Something about the savory sauce and tender bites felt both indulgent and somewhat healthier than the fried options. Years later, when I moved to a small town without a Panda Express, I craved that familiar dish after a particularly stressful workweek.

Preheat the smoker to 225°F. Place all the spices in a spice grinder and pulse until very finely ground. Sprinkle a thin layer of spice mix all over the brisket. Do not heavily coat the brisket with spices. Save the leftover spice mix for future use. Place the brisket fat-side down in the smoker. (This promotes a more distinct smoke ring and protects the lean meat from the heat.) Place a probe thermometer into the brisket and smoke until it reaches 200°F.
