8∑PAHs in 2- and 4-month-old desi chicken organs collected from Faisalabad district, Punjab, Pakistan, were examined via high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Exposure doses (AVDD) of PAHs with consequential lifetime excess cancer risks (LₜECR) were also estimated in people ingesting laboratory barbecued (Lb) and commercially barbecued (Cb) desi meat organs. The results exposed the presence of 8ΣPAH in 2- and 4-month-old Lb and Cb chicken organs: drumsticks (Dₛ), breast (BS), and wings (Wₛ) (0.45, 3.10, 0.97 ng g⁻¹; 2.52, 4.31, 1.22 ng g⁻¹; and 10.09, 15.04, and 9.06 ng g⁻¹ respectively). BαP was found only in Cb organs with the highest concentrations (5.08 ng g⁻¹) in Bₛ. It was above the EU’s tolerable limit, while it was not detected in all Lb organs. The lowest level of 8ΣPAH was found in 2-month-old desi Wₛ. A comparative percentage increase in 8ΣPAH levels between all Lb and Cb organs was found in the range of 1500–2416.67%. LₜECR for males and adults were ranging from 1.35 × E⁻¹³ to 4.49 × E⁻⁵ at different consumption rates with AVDD ranging from 1.08 E⁻⁶ to 6.01 E⁻⁵. In contrast to 2- and 4- month-old chicken meat, 2-month-old desi meat is better having less PAH load. Comparing different organs, Wₛ of former one displayed abridged PAH levels. In conclusion, Lb desi meat is less carcinogenic relative to Cb. More PAH levels are due to secondary smoke in Cb samples collected from the metropolitan. Ingestion of Lb 2-month-old desi chicken organs could be safe to dine as compared with 4-month-old desi and Cb organs. Graphical abstract
