Notes:
Eight-piece-cut broiler parts from 907-1134g carcasses were obtained from a processing plant. Parts were flour predusted, battered, and floured again before being fried in a deep-fat fryer. Fried chicken parts were immediately held in an electric oven at 65.6°C. Warner-Bratzler shear values, ultrastructural changes, coating-skin moisture contents, and organoleptic evaluations of the fried parts were measured after 0.25, 1, 2, and 3 hr of holding. Both breast and thigh meat had a change in ultrastructure at different times; however, dark meat became tougher sooner than white meat. Oven holding had a drying effect on the coating-skin portions. Organoleptic scores of coating-skin parts of fried chicken were not affected by holding time within 3 hr, while those for meat parts were affected.
