As a graduate in the subject, I am intrigued by the chemistry of
chlorinated chicken. Consider phenol, a simple compound consisting of a benzene ring with a single hydroxy group attached. There are three compounds of phenol with a single chlorine atom attached: 2-chlorophenol, 3-chlorophenol and 4-chlorophenol. In the olden days, they were called ortho-, meta- and para-chlorophenol. There are no less than six isomers of dichlorophenol; in all, there are 19 compounds of chlorinated
phenol.
When we come to chlorinated chicken, the prospect of an entire discipline open up, with university departments of chlorinated chicken, professors and research graduates; it could even become a degree subject in its own right.
Who, I wonder will be the first Professor
of Chicken Chlorination?
