Additional Information
Every fried chicken brand has its own distinctive flavor. Aficionados could probably tell several different brands apart in a blind taste test. While there are certain intangibles that give some brands a competitive advantage, for the most part you are buying a recipe when you choose a particular concept. For many years, certain brands and their associated flavors (and spice levels) tended to do better in certain parts of the country. But that market segmentation has started to fade as American taste buds become more adventurous and less parochial.
It?s also worth noting that while this is a discussion of fried chicken franchises, many consumers are looking for a healthier (as in not fried) chicken alternative. Most brands have responded by providing appropriate menu options. That may be a particularly important consideration depending on consumer preferences in your target market.
More Than Chicken Scratch
Though on the surface it seems like a simple dish, fried chicken actually poses some challenges. First, most brands marinate their raw chicken as a first step in preparation. In some cases, this can take up to 24 hours. Second, bone-in fried chicken does not cook quickly. While the product has a relatively long hold time (how long after cooking it can be served while maintaining product quality), keeping enough on hand to keep customers from having to wait while avoiding the need to waste lots of unsold chicken can be tricky. Preparing fried chicken also requires plenty of refrigerated storage, and fryers of course. This combination means these restaurants need a spacious kitchen, walk-in coolers, and a fair amount of equipment. That means the right space will definitely take more than chicken scratch. Typical total investment for one of these restaurants can easily reach or exceed $1 million. Even on the lower end, you should expect costs of at least $300,000. With so many choices, you need a resource like Franchise Clique to guide your search for the right fried chicken franchise opportunities. Explore our listings today!Send Me FREE Franchise Info
