The current study was designed to assess the safety and quality status of street‐vended barbecue chicken samples. The samples were collected from four regions of Faisalabad city: Ghulam Mohammad Abad (R₁), Jhang Road (R₂), Sargodha Road (R₃), and Satiana Road (R₄); and compared with the self‐prepared barbecue chicken sample (R₀). Purposely, all the collected samples were subjected to assess the quality aspects by physicochemical analyses. The results of the physicochemical analysis showed that moisture content varied from 54% to 60%, crude protein 26.97% to 32.87%, crude fat 7.25% to 9.00%, crude ash 1.61% to 1.72%, pH 5.60 to 6.30, free fatty acid value 1.00% to 1.39%, and peroxide value 0.63 to 0.84 meq/Kg. Results pertaining to the enumeration of total microbial load and total coliform count exhibit 2.39–5.17 and 1.20–3.20 log cfu/g, respectively. The samples were assessed for …
