Why does chicken change color when cooked?

Answer 1

Meat turns brown when you cook it because of a protein called myoglobin, which is also what makes red meat red, not blood. So how does the myoglobin end up making the meat turn brown when cooked? This darkening effect is due to the oxidation state of the iron atoms in myoglobin. When the myoglobin is exposed to oxygen, before you cook the meat, the iron atom oxidation level is +2 and it is bound to a dioxygen molecule (O2), which makes the meat appear bright red. As you cook the meat, this iron atom loses an electron and goes to a +3 oxidation level with this process ending up turning the meat brown. So now you know why meat turns brown!

Answer 2

The color of a chickens egg is dependent on their breed. Some breeds lay white eggs, and some lay brown. When an egg is being make inside a chicken the tint is the last part of the process; it's applied last. Brown and white eggs are identical except for the shell color; there is no difference on the inside in appearance or taste.

Answer 3

If it turns dark brown that means it's cooked. The colour changes because of a reaction between the hot oil and the skin of the chicken.
