Black Chicken 黑鸡

Black Chicken 黑鸡 (also known as Silkie Chicken) is renowned for its signature black skin. They have been used in traditional Chinese medicine as far back as the 7th century! 

Their flesh and bones are found to be high in carnosine, a natural antioxidant that helps boost overall strength including motor skills, eyesight, and muscle strength.

Black chickens are also extremely popular for natal care at all stages and are particularly popular for their restorative properties for post-natal mothers.

For you who don’t know how to clean a fresh whole chicken, don’t worry! We clean all chickens + include neck and feet by default, do let us know if you would prefer otherwise!

Cleaning of chicken:

• Nails will be removed
• Excess fats will be removed
• Feathers will be removed 

Storage Guide:

• Chiller: Up to 5 days as we vacuum pack your chicken, which extends the shelf life conservatively by 50% (usually it’s 3 days for non-vacuumed chickens)
• Freezer: Up to 6 months

Pro Tip for Safe Handling:  Don’t wash the chicken before cooking; washing may cause dangerous bacteria like Salmonella to splash around your kitchen. If you insist on washing chicken meat, consider doing so in a sink of water rather than under a running tap. However, we recommend cooking the chicken without washing it to minimise any risk of cross-contamination.

Special Remarks:

• We are only able to remove skin for boneless chicken items.
• Please note that the size of the chicken may vary since they are naturally grown. 
  

Weight: Approx. 500g per bird. Weight may vary between 400-600g. Weight indicated is BEFORE cleaning.
