This study evaluated the physicochemical properties and sensory attributes of Lueyang black-bone chicken meatballs prepared via three different cooking methods\u2014steaming, boiling, and frying\u2014and further analyzed their volatile compound profiles via gas chromatography\u2013ion mobility spectrometry (GC\u2013IMS). Compared with the steamed and boiled samples, the fried meatballs presented the highest sensory scores and greater hardness, adhesiveness, and chewiness (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &amp;lt;\u202f0.05). Moreover, the color parameters [L*(34.67\u202f\u00b1\u202f1.63), a*(6.89\u202f\u00b1\u202f0.07), b*(15.12\u202f\u00b1\u202f0.79)] of the fried samples differed notably from those of the other samples (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &amp;lt;\u202f0.05), indicating the effect of thermal processing on their appearance.

Overall, fried Lueyang black-bone chicken meatballs presented more favorable quality attributes.
