Bonchon, which serves Korean double-fried chicken, opened its fifth North Carolina location Wednesday in Raleigh at 6230 Capital Blvd., under the direction of owners Jichai Zhang and James Weng.

"Bonchon already has great name recognition in North Carolina, so I am eager to see how the locals here in Raleigh react to our opening," Zhang said in a company press release. "One thing I can guarantee, without a doubt, is when people bite into our fried chicken it will easily become the best fried chicken they have ever had."

Since its inception in Busan, South Korea, in 2002, Bonchon has opened 400 locations worldwide with 120 locations in the U.S.
