Our Story

101 Chicken™, with our award-winning Korean fried chicken, partners with technology to consistently deliver the best tasting and quality K-chicken to our customers.

The “101” in our name, which signifies the “binary code” (most basic form of computer code), represents what we believe is the foundation of any great food—the recipes and the cook.

화려한 맛을 만들지만 본연의 맛을 좋아하는 저는 요리사 안병태입니다.”
A chef that creates fancy and elevated flavors but enjoys original, natural tastes - English translate

K-Chicken is a cultural bridge with endless possibilities to marry Korean classic ingredients like aged soy sauce and gochujang with non-traditional (and unexpected) flavors. Our vision is clear —with the endless flavor opportunities, we will introduce a piece of Korea to everyone who tastes 101 Chicken™.”

Opening any restaurant is about creating a space and environment where friends and families can foster deeper connections while experiencing flavors together over a shared meal.”

Robotic Kitchen

Partnering with Technology

We believe that the foundation of any great fried chicken rests on the recipe and cook. By introducing smart, robotic technology into the kitchen, 101 Chicken™ can eliminate operational inconsistencies and inefficiencies, and deliver consistent taste and quality by ensuring that each order of chicken is cooked for (and at) the optimal time and temperature.

Advantages of Our 101 Chicken™ Robot Technology

Efficient

No matter how busy the store is, whether an employee calls in sick, etc., our robot solves the problem of manpower shortage. Rather than having to pull extra hands onto fryer, those employees can focus on delivering better quality and service overall.

Smart

An intelligent cooking robot that can be easily operated by any user, customized for the type of food cooked and cooks your food at constant, optimal settings.

Sanitary & Safe

Our robot is internationally NFS-certified and manufactured to operate hygienically and effectively even with hot temperatures and oil. Additionally, with less exposure to potential hazards such as harmful gases, hot oil splashes and slippery floors, we have created a safer work environment for our 101 Chicken™ employees.
