Tough meat from spent chicken can be economically utilized for preparing various convenience meat products which are nutritious and tasty. Ready-to-cook restructured chicken meat cubes were developed by incorporating spent chicken meat (SCM) into broiler chicken meat (BCM) at different ratios (T1, T2 and T3) and compared with broiler breast muscle cubes (C). Physico-chemical properties such as pH, TBARS numbers and tyrosine values showed significant (p<0.01) difference between C and treatments. Significantly (p<0.01) higher L and b values and lower a values were observed in C than treatments. Except for hardness, all texture parameters were significantly (p<0.01) lower for C. T2 and T3 showed significantly (p<0.01) higher aerobic plate count and T2 had higher yeast and mould count compared to others. C had significantly (p<0.01) lower protein, fat and ash contents than treatments. Overall acceptability scores were highest for T1 and then for C and T2. Spent hen meat can be incorporated up to 50 per cent level to prepare convenient, ready-to-cook restructured meat cubes.
