▲ Kyochon Chicken Partial Meat Menu Temporarily Sold Out


As the highly pathogenic avian influenza and AI outbreaks are prolonged, chicken out-of-stocks are happening everywhere.



Kyochon Chicken said, "We ask for your understanding as it may be difficult to order a combo menu for chicken wings, chicken legs and wings due to the unstable supply and demand of raw meat."



To make a menu with chicken legs or wings with only 2 chickens per chicken, it is especially difficult to supply and demand because several chickens are required.



Kyochon Chicken, the number one chicken franchise in Korea, has a high proportion of such partial meat products.



In the case of BBQ, another chicken franchise, staff in charge of purchasing are traveling across the country looking for chicken suppliers.



A BBQ official said, "We are looking for all companies in the country besides existing trading companies."



It is known that BBQ managed to prepare about 98% of the amount of chicken that the franchisees want.



As chicken is scarce, the price of chicken has risen, and the price of chicken is also under pressure.



According to the Korea Broiler Association, the price of 1 kg of chicken No. 9 and No. 10 as of the 18th was 3,308 won, up 16.2% from 3 months ago and 4.8% from a year ago.
