There was considerable variation in moisture, protein, and fat levels among four replications of rotisserie chicken (Table 3). This was the reason that the standard deviations of moisture, fat and protein levels in chickens were very high, especially in the chicken skin. These four chickens were bought on different visits to the same store. Factors that may have affect the amount of heat absorbed into the chicken include weight of chicken, placement of chicken in the oven, cooking time and temperature, and the number of chickens in the oven during each cooking cycle. The chickens weighed between 850 and 1040 g. Chicken in replication 1 had the lowest weight (850 g) and the most brown color and shrinkage among the four chickens. The lighter weight chicken tends to absorb heat more than a heavier weight chicken, leading to a greater loss of moisture (Murkovic, 2004). Chicken replication 1 had the lowest moisture content, followed by chicken replication 2, replication 3, and replication 4. Chicken replication 1 also had more fat and protein than the other three replications.
