Are you Mad for Chicken?
Th e popular franchise has fl apped 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.
Th e 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 aft er 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.
Th e company has been in operation
since 2006. With their fi rst branch opening
in Flushing at 157-20 Northern Blvd.,
it proved to be one of the best fried
chicken restaurants in town. Th eir famous
Korean double fried organic chicken
instantly became everyone’s favorite meal
on the menu.
Following the success of their fi rst 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 diffi
cult 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 fl avor 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.
Buff alo 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.
Th is makes their meals not only
sumptuous but nutritious too.
In August, the company is planning
to open another restaurant in Sunnyside
with two fl oors of restaurant space with
outdoor seating as well.
New York is just the fi rst stop, as the
company is now eying global expansion
as they aim to open and give exclusive
territory to their franchisees. Th e 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 fi nest
Korean fried chicken
into key cities worldwide.
