BBQ Chicken is Korea’s No. 1 Chicken Restaurant!

Started in September 1995, BBQ Chicken has now grown to be the No. 1 franchise brand in Korea with more than 1,850 shops and was the first Franchise Company ever to be selected as Korea’s top 100 Brands.

BBQ understands the importance and realizes obligation of providing customers with not just a delicious meal but a healthy meal too. Hence, with the belief to satisfy our customers, BBQ Chicken created Olive Luxury Chicken and was the first to use only 100% Pure Olive Oil to fry chicken. Using only the best and freshest ingredients in our restaurants, consumers can be assured that they are served with quality chicken meal. Every item on the menu is clearly differentiated by its taste and quality. BBQ created its own inimitable formula with flavours and ingredients of Korean cuisine like Ginseng and authentic barbeque sauces etc.

With aggressive expansion plans, BBQ Chicken has advanced into markets like China, Spain, Japan, USA, Vietnam, Australia, Mongolia, Malaysia and Singapore.

    

Genesis Co., Ltd was established in September 1995 with just 1 brand - BBQ Chicken. Genesis has since introduced 10 brands with more than 3000 stores, growing as the best and largest dining franchise company in Korea. The company philosophy and vision is “to know no bounds to become the No.1 Corporation in the world”. Based on the accomplishments in Korea, Genesis aims to become the largest and the greatest franchise group by 2020 with a possession of 50,000 stores around the world.
