Bonchon Chicken (Korean: 본촌치킨; Hanja: 本村치킨) is a Dallas-based international Korean fried chicken restaurant franchise.[1][2] According to the company, Bonchon is a Korean word meaning "My Hometown".

History[edit]

The Bonchon Chicken restaurant began in 2002 in Busan, South Korea. The first location in the U.S. was in Fort Lee, New Jersey.[3] It later spread to California, New York, Connecticut, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, Virginia, North Carolina, Florida, Texas, Delaware and Washington state.[4][5][6] The Korean fried chicken franchise currently operates in 21 states in the U.S. and 8 countries internationally.

Jinduk Seo is the founder of Bonchon Chicken and Bryan Shin is currently the CEO.[7]

In 2021, Bonchon moved its global headquarters to Dallas, Texas.[8]

In 2023, Thai artist Vachirawit Chivaaree was announced as the first brand ambassador of Bonchon.[9]
