Yes, frying chicken is considered a chemical change because the heat causes chemical reactions to occur in the chicken, altering its molecular structure and changing its composition. This process cannot be easily reversed to return the chicken to its original form, unlike a physical change.
Frying chicken involves both physical and chemical changes. The physical change occurs as the chicken cooks and changes color and texture due to the application of heat. The chemical change happens as the proteins and sugars in the chicken undergo reactions that result in browning and flavor development.
