History

IN 2002,
the first Bonchon Store opened in Pusan, South Korea. Bonchon Chicken quickly gained popularity and became a local favorite for its crispy, juicy, yet lean, fried chicken with an astounding Soy Garlic or Hot flavor. The unique taste and texture of Bonchon Chicken developed a strong customer base and helped Bonchon Chicken expand to over 25 restaurants in South Korea alone.

IN MAY 2006,
Bonchon Chicken entered the US market, opening its first restaurant in Leonia, New Jersey.

BY THE END OF 2007,

Bonchon Chicken was operating six restaurants in New York, New Jersey and Virginia. Since then, it has become an east coast favorite.
Bonchon Chicken is a growing global franchise with 20 locations throughout the United States, and 30 locations overseas. We have stores in: US, Indonesia, South Korea, Philippines, Thailand, Brunei, Singapore.

WE CONTINUE TO RECEIVE MUCH PRAISE FOR OUR CHICKEN AND A GREAT DEAL OF INTEREST IN OUR FRANCHISE FROM THE GLOBAL COMMUNITY.

THE cooking process

DOUBLE FRYING
DOUBLE-FRIYING means

Our chicken is fried once, then fried twice after a short period of breathing.
The double-fry produces a thin and crispy skin while fat is sucked out. All that remains is the wing meat which retains its moisture, protected by the thin battered skin.

HAND BRUSHING
HAND-BRUSHING
Our chicken is not carelessly dumped and mixed in a bowl of sauce, but hand-brushed, piece-by-piece, with our signature sauces, immediately after the second fry.

summary

BonChon Chicken is:

Crispier, juicier, leaner, TASTIER CHICKEN.

BonChons crispy fried chicken is juicy and lean on the inside and crispy on the outside, which is coated with one of our two boldly flavored secret sauces. Our chicken contains 0g of trans fat and isnt greasy like your average fried chicken or buffalo wings. In all aspects of preparation, taste, and texture, BonChon chicken is one-of-a-kind. Our special sauces are made in our own factory in South Korea. No other seasoning is added to our chicken. The unparalleled crispiness of the skin, and the moistness and leanness of the meat underneath are achieved by our unique double-frying cooking process. As savory as the chicken are our side-dishes, which include cubed radishes (Korean equivalent of the pickle) and kimchi coleslaw. They serve as refreshing and crunchy palate-cleansers accompanying each bite of our chicken.
