Abstract Chicken meat is rich in protein, which can produce carcinogenic and mutagenic heterocyclic amines during high temperature processing, posing serious health hazards to consumers. Effective inhibition of heterocyclic amines production has become a major concern in the field of food safety. This paper discusses the factors affecting the content of heterocyclic amines at different steps of roast chicken production such as the raw material, pretreatment, sugar coating, deep frying and boiling, and it summarizes the existing approaches to inhibit heterocyclic amines including increasing carcass volume and water content of chicken meat, microwave treatment, marination, appropriate sugar coating, properly reducing cooking temperature and time, and adding spices and antioxidants.
