Scottland Food Group Corporation acquired the Philippine master franchise of BonChon, a restaurant internationally known for the famous Korean-style fried chicken as well as other delicious and exciting Korean-style fare.
BonChon Chicken began in South Korea and successfully became a well-known global franchise with over 400 restaurants in various cities like Los Angeles, Boston, New York, Dubai, Singapore and many more.
Mr. Jinduk Seo, BonChon founder, desired to create the perfect korean fried chicken recipe and share it to the world. This is why he spent years perfecting the distinct chicken cooking technique that ensures a paper-thin crispy texture outside and tender, juicy meat inside.
BonChon meaning “my hometown” in Korean, is a global fast-casual restaurant brand that originated in South Korea in 2002.
It began making waves in the global arena in 2006 as it entered the US market, captivating the discerning palates of the citizens of New York, San Francisco, Boston, Virginia, and New Jersey.
Its cult following propelled it to international shores, with stores in Asia (Bangkok, Manila, Jakarta, and Singapore) quickly following.
