Silkie black chicken, also known as Silkie chicken or Silky chicken, is a unique and rare breed of chicken known for its distinctive characteristics. It is a small-sized chicken with fluffy, soft, and downy plumage that resembles fur, giving it a silky appearance. The feathers lack the usual barbicels, which make them look more like fur than feathers.
Silkie black chickens have blue-black skin and bones, as well as black flesh, which sets them apart from other chicken breeds.
In culinary circles, Silkie black chicken is highly regarded for its tender and flavorful meat. Its unique appearance and culinary qualities make it a sought-after ingredient in certain cuisines, especially in Chinese and Asian cooking.
In this week menu special, we have 2-ways preparation of this Silkie Black Chicken, confit and breaded. Served with Coffee Jus and Purple Carrot Coulis.
