HELLO!WELLCOME TO
History AND goal
Becoming a Global Franchise‘BonChon’ is the Korean word for “original village.” Just as people
yearn for their homelands, we hope that our customers will long
for our amazingly crispy, juicy, and flavorful chicken wherever they are.
As we grow and expand, we will make sure that he who seeks
BonChon shall always find it. We firmly believe that our tasty and
unique chicken will usher in a new era of fried chicken.
IN 2002, the first Bonchon Chicken opened in Pusan, South Korea. Bonchon
Chicken quickly gathered popularity and became a local favorite
for its crispy, juicy, yet lean, fried chicken with an astounding Soy
Garlic or Hot flavor. The unique and quality taste of Bonchon Chicken
developed a strong customer base and helped Bonchon Chicken
expand to 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.
WE CONTINUE TO RECEIVE MUCH PRAISE FOR OUR CHICKEN AND A GREAT DEAL OF INTEREST IN OUR FRANCHISE FROM THE GLOBAL COMMUNITY.
History AND goal
Bonchon Chicken already growing as a global franchise
with about 20 locations throughout the United States,
about 30 locations overseas in countries such as
Indonesia, the Philippines and Thailand, and more
opening in Brunei and Singapore this year.
BonChon is a restaurant franchise selling Korean-style
fried chicken. We believe that our special chicken,
seasoned with our secret sauces, can usher in a new
love for fried chicken around the world.

A light layer of batter applied pre-frying creates
our special thin and very crispy skin.
Under the crispy, thin skin layer is tender and
moist meat.
There should be a subtle, airy space between
the meat and the skin – a sign that a good portion
of fat has been sucked out during the double-fry.

03. THE cooking process
DOUBLE-FRIED means… Our chicken is cooked-to-order.
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. Despite losing fat, the wing meat retains its moisture
protected by the thin battered skin.
HAND-BRUSHED 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.

In summary BonChon Chicken is:
Crispier, juicier, leaner,
TASTIER CHICKEN.
BonChon’s 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 isn’t
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.
