Abstract

Chicken Nuggets and Strips are breaded poultry meat products which are widely consumed allover the world and intensively expand in its production, which developed in response to consumer demand because of its highly palatability and nutritive value.
Therefore, the present study was applied to evaluate their wholesomness for human consumption and assure its quality in the aspects of bacteriological safety, nutritive value and compliment with Egyptian organization for standardizations (3493-2005) for products of poultry meat treated with heat.
Twenty five samples of each chicken nuggets and strips (each package represented as one sample) were examined microbiologically and chemically in frozen and fried states , frying at 4 minute which provide core temperature 55o c and light yellow color and at 6 minute which provide accepted dark yellow color core temperature 75oc.
