The secret to Albaik’s global success

Established in 1974, Albaik was exclusively available in Saudi Arabia’s western provinces, including Jeddah, Mecca, and Medina, until 2020. In 2021, the brand ranked third on YouGov’s Best Brands in Saudi Arabia list, yet its influence has always been global.

The iconic red-and-yellow chicken in a top hat logo has come to represent various aspects of Saudi Arabia, the diaspora, and the Muslim world. These include business innovation, a great equalizer in Saudi society, and cult-like brand loyalty akin to the Filipino fast-food chain Jollibee or California’s In-N-Out Burger.

Saudi entrepreneur Shakour AbuGhazalah first opened Albaik in a warehouse in Jeddah’s Sharafiyah district nearly 50 years ago. The family secured an exclusive agreement with a foreign company for the “proprietary use of deep-fried chicken spice blend and equipment.” Although the spice blend remains a secret, the chicken is believed to be fried in a pressure cooker using a technique called “broasting.”

So, if you’re hungry for some AlBaik fried chicken, you know where to head. Keep an eye out for future branches, as AlBaik has hinted that there are probably more on the way!
