What's the deal with Black Chicken?

[Dennis143]

LeiQin buys and prepares black chicken just for her. Her meals are mysterious and are mixed with other concoctions and eaten from a bowl.

 

What up wit dat?

 

Is it some kind of Chinese medicinal food that they must have.

 

I'd really like to know. Can anyone clue me in?

I just asked Jie about this and she said if LeiQin prepares it just for herself, it is most likely for those mysterious 5 days of the month. Supposed to be good for the pain and other symptoms.

 

Chinese Midol, I guess.

 

Yikes, is it that time of the month again?

It is also called silken chicken and is used more for medicinal

cooking.

 

It is used to boost the immune system and prevent colds

in the winter.

 

You can buy them at the 99 Ranch Market.

 

The are smaller than a regular chicken and cost more $$$$.

 

You should ask her about donkey skin; it is good for woman.

Dennis ... why not tell her you'd like to eat black chicken also? I actually think it has better flavor than it's white cousins. We eat it all the time in China. I've seen it at 99 Ranch but haven't bought one here.

Right the breed is the silkie. It has a blueish black skin and is the size of a cornish hen. A variety of chicken.

Chinese usually use it as medicinal soup particularly to lessen a woman's monthly problems. It is also taken during pregnancy.

 

Jujube tea is another medicinal used monthly although I happen to like it any time.

 

If you really want to try a good tasting bird, try Poussin. It is also a small variety but comes from France. In my opinion they are the tastiest chickens.

We saw some black chicken last week at the asian market.. I picked it up and looked at her... she stood there and just stared back. Then said , "Bie shou"... (don't talk!) I put it down and we both laughed...
