The Science of Frying, the Art of Flavor

What seems like simple frying hides deep expertise. JCA's R&D team spent three years perfecting the temperature curve: 160°C slow-fry to lock in juices, then 190°C flash-fry for the crispy shell.

Origin & Heritage

From Street Stand to Iconic Brand

From Street Stand to Iconic Brand

In 1976, founder Marcus Chen set up the first fried chicken stand in Taipei's Wanhua District. The crispy-outside, juicy-inside taste drew long queues. For 50 years, we've kept the same secret marinade recipe, using 12-hour low-temperature marination.
