Korean Fried Chicken Phenomenon: 'BBQ Olive Chicken' Serves Up a Winning Recipe for Success

Are you a fan of Korean Fried Chicken (KFC)? If so, what is your favorite brand? If you're in the streets of Korea, you'll probably see at least a dozen KFC joints as you walk down one street, but it may be harder to find the equivalent in a foreign country. 

Fortunately, Korean Fried Chicken has been on the rise in recent years, and we've been able to see more and more KFC brands entering the international stage! A brand that has been gaining significant attention and popularity lately is none other than "BBQ Olive Chicken."

You've probably seen this brand through a PPL on a K-Drama...

Or, if you're lucky, you may have been able to see this brand in your own country.

BBQ Olive Chicken is ranked the #1 Korean Fried Chicken in South Korea, and it is also the most successful KFC brand outside of South Korea as well. With locations in the US, Singapore, Iran, Philippines, Malaysia, Canada, and even locations in Turkey, BBQ is showing its dominance, and it has never felt so good! 

BBQ is a popular brand because they have such a fantastic recipe for the simplest of the simple -- the fried chicken. By using olive oil to fry their chicken, it creates a savory and crispy flavor that other brands can't imitate, and even foreigners are becoming attracted to this great chicken! By staying loyal to the original flavor and having such a great foundation, this has become one of BBQ's biggest selling points. 

Random Fact of the Day - Did you know BBQ doesn't stand for the typical "barbeque," but it's actually an acronym for "Best of the Best Quality?"

BBQ proudly has locations all across the USA, from New York City to Atlanta to Los Angeles, so it makes it easier for Americans to get a glimpse of Korean Fried Chicken.

And with Korean culture, in general, coming on the rise in recent years thanks to the media, people are truly curious as to how Korean Fried Chicken tastes like! Tip: The Rose Tteokbokki is also delicious!

In recent years, BBQ has used famous Korean celebrities as their models, such as BTS and actress Kim Yoo Jung, to appeal to the audience more.

BBQ Olive is continuing its expansion, and I'm excited to see how BBQ Olive, Korean Fried Chicken in general, and Korean culture will expand beyond its horizons and continue to grow.
