For lovers of American Chinese takeout, mark your iCal and adjust your dinner plans accordingly: Panda Express will be giving away orange chicken for free tomorrow, June 21 from 9 p.m. to closing.

The homegrown chain will give those who stop by participating locations a single serving of their popular dish. No purchase is necessary to receive a portion, but you do have to present the online coupon for a portion. You can show the coupon via a printed copy or on your smartphone.

And while the time of the giveaway is probably not going to attract any early special enthusiasts, Panda Express won't find a shortage of demand. The deep-fried boneless chicken nuggets tossed in a tangy sweet sauce have been on the chain's menu since the '80s.
