bhc Chicken announced on the 8th that the cumulative sales volume of the 'Maepso King' series, launched on the 6th of last month, has surpassed 200,000 units after one month.
The Maepso King series started to show an upward sales trend fueled by curiosity about its addictive new spicy flavor and word-of-mouth through social networking services (SNS), rising to become the number one spicy menu at bhc Chicken within just one month of its release.
This is significant as it follows the 'Gold King Boneless' launched in July, which ranked second among boneless menus, showing that the new spicy chicken menu has quickly settled in the market with positive consumer reviews.
Among the Maepso King series, consumers favored 'Bburin Maepso King' more than 'Yangnyeom Maepso King.'

In particular, the accompanying 'Maepso Sauce' offers a unique spicy taste and allows customers to create their own distinctive spicy dishes such as chibap (chicken + rice) and chimyeon (chicken + noodles), enhancing its popularity.
