FORT LEE, N.J., Nov. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Get ready for a flavor explosion! Bb.q Chicken, the leading Korean fried chicken brand, is teaming up with the global food company Samyang Foods to debut Buldak on Cheesling—a U.S. exclusive, limited-time menu item.

Launching on November 10, this collaboration combines bb.q's signature Cheesling chicken with Samyang's legendary Buldak sauce, creating a bold, spicy-cheesy fusion that promises to excite the taste buds.

This collaboration brings together two of Korea's most iconic food brands. bb.q Chicken, a leading Korean fried chicken brand with more than 200 locations across the U.S., joins forces with Samyang, the creator of the beloved Buldak ramen and sauce, which has captured the hearts of fans worldwide — especially Gen Alpha. Together, they offer a unique combination of cheese and spice that showcases the global appeal of Korean cuisine.

Buldak on Cheesling will be available nationwide in participating U.S. locations for a limited time from November 10 to December 10, with availability continuing through the end of the December while supplies last.
