Tiba Dumari Chicken, a fried chicken chain, announced the news Monday. The company filmed commercials with the five-member group earlier this month and is due to launch further promotional events with EXID in the future.

The members of EXID have reportedly shown a fondness for fried chicken on social networking websites and in TV entertainment programs.

EXID earlier this month released its second EP, which includes the titular lead single "Ah Yeah."
