New Mad for Chicken franchise
opens on Bayside’s Bell Boulevard
BY CARLOTTA MOHAMED
Are you Mad for Chicken?
The popular franchise has flapped
its wings, expanding to the heart of
Bell Boulevard in Bayside. Residents
are taking notice as they line up to
taste the Korean-style fried chicken.
The owners, Sean Cho and Clinton
Ho, opened Mad for Chicken on July 25
at 39-02 Bell Blvd., the former site of
Uno’s Pizzeria and Grill, which closed
its doors in January after more than
three decades in Bayside.
Mad for Chicken provides takeout,
delivery and spacious tented outdoor
dining for 100 patrons in the parking
lot behind the restaurant.
The company has been in operation
since 2006. With their first branch
opening in Flushing at 157-20 Northern
Blvd., it proved to be one of the
best fried chicken restaurants in town.
Their famous Korean double fried organic
chicken instantly became everyone’s
favorite meal on the menu.
Following the success of their first
restaurant, Cho decided to open a second
branch in Williamsburg, Brooklyn,
which also became a popular
spot.
According to Cho and Ho, it’s rather
difficult for customers to make a
weekend reservation at the Flushing
restaurant. In order to provide better
service to customers, they thought of
opening another location in Bayside.
“We’ve been in Flushing for the
longest time and a lot of our clientele
has been asking us to open in that vicinity,”

Ho said. “We wanted to make
sure we’re in a spot that’s an anchor in
the community.”
Mad for Chicken takes pride in
their house specialty, the Korean-style
fried chicken. With every bite, customers
can enjoy the satisfying crunchy
taste of this premium hand-brushed
flavor made from their secret signature
sauce.
Aside from their signature fried
chicken, the menu is also lined up with
several other food choices that cater to
every person’s taste buds cravings.
Buffalo wings, soy garlic chicken,
mac and cheese melt, nachos, salads,
kimchi fries, quesadilla, are just part
of what brings customers back regularly.
“It’s Korean cuisine and most people
come for the chicken,” Ho said.
Giving importance to the health
of their customers, Mad for Chicken
has made it a point to use only fresh
ingredients that contain little to no
GMO at all — even their free-range
farm-grown chickens are free from
hormones and antibiotics. This makes
their meals not only sumptuous but
nutritious too.
In August, the company is planning
to open another restaurant in Sunnyside
with two floors of restaurant
space with outdoor seating as well.
New York is just the first stop, as the
company is now eying global expansion
as they aim to open and give exclusive
territory to their franchisees.
The company is proud to announce
that they are now accepting franchise
partners who are willing and interested
(and perhaps just a bit mad) to
venture with them as they bring New
York’s finest Korean fried chicken into
key cities worldwide.
