About Krunchbox
A fried chicken counter from Chennai: brined overnight, breaded by hand, fried every 12 minutes since 2019.
Our story
Nine Seats and One Fryer
Cousins Arjun and Meera Pillai opened Krunchbox in 2019 in a nine-seat shopfront on Cathedral Road, with one second-hand fryer and a single bucket on the menu. It sold out by eight most nights.
Since then Meera's Ghost Mode glaze got its own wall of fame, a second kitchen opened in Velachery, and party trays started feeding offices and weddings across Chennai. The brine, though, has not changed.

Our promises
Made With Crunch
Never Frozen
Chicken arrives fresh every morning from a farm outside Chengalpattu and goes straight into the brine.
Never Reheated
A piece that has waited twenty minutes leaves the warmer and becomes staff lunch.
Sauced to Order
Wings meet their sauce after you order, so the crust is still loud when you open the box.
