PF Chang's Frozen Entree/ Honey Chicken

PF Chang's Honey Chicken

I wanted to focus on the line of PF Chang's frozen entrees because having frequented this establishment I was pleasantly surprised of their food at their restaurant, so why not. It couldn't be that bad right?
Well, I was completely wrong. I bought the Honey Chicken entree at my local supermarket and here is what I thought of it:

PF Chang's Honey Chicken
Now, when you have a fried coating it is very very difficult to maintain a crispness when frozen. You would need to at least heat up in this case the chicken in the toaster oven or air fryer. The toss it in a pan with the sauce. Simple right?
I think the management team at PF Chang wanted to imitate the actual take out process. Have it made fresh, all crispy and toss with sauce and box it. So when you eat it the crispness losses it with the sauce and ultimately becomes a little soggy.
That's what I think they were thinking or God Knows what they were trying to do. First, they say its Honey Chicken, I mean honey taste is honey taste and the only difference depends on where the bees ket the honey from what flower. But honey is honey, and I didn't taste any semblance to honey flavor. The chicken, chicken breast when cooked tightens up the breast muscle and requires a good chew. Now, there are ways to tenderize chicken but the way I know is not what they did. I believe they ground up the chicken in a mash added extenders and binders and breaded it and quick fried it. It felt like a mini chicken morsel. But when your dealing with a corporation, I guess you can expect this type of processing to be fast and quick.
Again, the sauce was very sweet. In terms of value, yes, they did give a lot of so called chicken, they had to the title said "Honey Chicken." I was very disappointed to say the least so on a scale of 1-5 with 5 being excellent, I give a rating of -90, yes minus 90. It was that bad.
If PF Chang continues with this line of frozen entree, they better get their act together or their brand will end up in the gutter.
