101 Chicken is a casual Korean fried chicken restaurant concept that serves Korean fried chicken and other menu items for on-premises dining, carryout, catering, and delivery. The system is built around standardized preparation and service methods, and it incorporates robotic cooking technology as part of restaurant operations. It also requires the use of designated ingredients and supplies, including approved sauces, batters, powdered spices, and packaging.

The concept was founded in 2023 in Fort Lee by Wohnho “Paul” Choi, Jaemin Koo, and Jin Hee “Jeanne” Park. It began as an affiliate-operated restaurant and later expanded into a franchised model with an operations manual, defined brand standards, and a structured supplier and technology setup to support consistent execution.
