Yuck on the BBQ sauce. Hold the sprinkles but use whipped silkie liver as an ice cream topping.

Someone beat you to it. Silkie or "Black Skin Chicken" was featured in an episode a few weeks ago.....

So.....does silkie meat taste the same as regular chicken? Unless you marinade the heck out of it that is....more gamey maybe?

I didn't find it gamey at all but have only cooked it a few times. It wasn't great on the
bbq because I didn't let it rest or brine it. Plus mine weren't nearly as meaty as the
ones in LCRT's picture. They did have a lot of flavor for soup.

If it wasn't for the dark membrane on some of the meat you would never know the difference.

Yes and if you review the menus of some high society restaurants in areas like LA and New York, "Black Skin Chicken" is actually becoming quite popular. I was quite amazed at how many people at the State Fair in Dallas were telling me about seeing them on menus and in high class restaraunts.
