bb.q Chicken Kicks off the New Year With Brand-New Delaware Location

bb.q Chicken, Korea’s Finest Fried Chicken™, is announcing the Grand Opening of its first restaurant in Delaware on Jan. 5, near the University of Delaware campus. The brand-new restaurant located at 165 S. Main St., Unit 117 Newark, DE 19711 will feature a Chicken Cafe concept, designed for lunch, happy hour, dinner and late night eats, chicken and other K-Food. To celebrate its first Delaware location, bb.q will host a Grand Opening event on Jan. 5 with a ribbon cutting ceremony at 11 a.m.

bb.q (pronounced bee-bee-que) stands for Best of the Best Quality and serves as a promise to always make Korea’s Finest Fried Chicken. Each location prepares and shares only the best flavors and uses the best ingredients for its signature item, Korean Fried Chicken, as well as K-Food items, such as ddeok bokki and kimchi fried rice. The method bb.q Chicken uses to fry its chicken makes a difference, too, resulting in a lighter, crispier and more delicious product compared to American-style fried chicken. Each restaurant offers both boneless and bone-in Korean Fried Chicken options with a variety of delicious sauces and flavors.

Authenticity is at the core of everything bb.q Chicken makes. Korean Fried Chicken has gained popularity in America, and while many international food brands try to “Americanize” their food selections when they franchise in the United States, that is not the case for bb.q Chicken. bb.q Chicken’s authentic marinades arrive directly from South Korea and transport their customers’ taste buds back to Seoul with every bite.

“We’re excited to diversify Newark’s food scene and show the community all the amazing food Korea has to offer, especially our Chicken Wings,” said Jin Yum, franchise owner and local University of Delaware alum. “We’re confident that Korean and American locals here will love our authentic Korean Fried Chicken and other delicious K-Food items.”

Nation’s Restaurant News recently named bb.q Chicken as the second fastest growing restaurant brand by unit growth in the United States, with 68.6% unit growth, year over year, from 2020 to 2021. bb.q Chicken currently has 3,500 locations across 57 countries, with plans to expand to 250 U.S. locations by the end of 2023.
