Large portions and authentic flavors are in store for diners at Richardson’s No. 1 Plus Chicken, owner Sungrae Jeong said.

Jeong said he took over the ownership of the restaurant in September 2023 and has since expanded the hours of operation and increased the portion size without increasing cost for many of the restaurant’s dishes.

The backstory

Jeong previously worked as a point of sale technician and No. 1 Plus Chicken was one of his clients.

Jeong was impressed with the restaurant and began negotiations to purchase the business from its previous owners.


“I think the taste of the chicken is really good,” Jeong said. “It’s the reason I [bought] the restaurant. It’s different from other restaurants.”

What’s special about it?

Many of the spices used to create the marinades and flavors are imported from Korea, Jeong said, giving the food an authentic flavor. Additionally, Jeong said the restaurant only uses fresh chicken.

According to the restaurant’s website, the chicken marinates for 48 hours and is fried twice. Wings are served with cabbage slaw and there are several house-made sauce and dry rub options available.


“Our wings are really popular,” Jeong said. “We use jumbo fresh wings for the 10 piece and you can choose two flavors.”

What’s on the menu?

The restaurant specializes in Korean fried chicken and other Korean fare, Jeong said. One of the most popular menu items is the green onion chicken, which features shredded green onions served over chicken nuggets and topped with a house-made green onion sauce.

Other popular menu items include bulgogi, a Korean beef barbecue dish, and spicy seafood soup, which Jeong said is his favorite dish..


For first time visitors, Jeong recommends the platter, which is an entire eight-piece chicken in four of the restaurant's most popular flavors — original, yangyum, soy and honey garlic.
