Silkie Stock in the Pressure Cooker

I don't think I can do the gray/blue/black meat either lol but good Job!

Target has a Turkey fryer on sale for 50 bucks....my husband was eyeballing it...

Doing some shopping on Kohl's website. My mama is taking me there today to pick out my Christmas present, a new set of stainless steel oven safe cookware. She won some money on the lottery and wants to get me my gift now before its gone. (She knows I'm doing Thanksgiving this year and should have a full set at my disposal with 12 people to cook for, and my old set consists of 2 pan, 2 pots.)

I casually mentioned a pressure cooker on the phone, and she suggested I get one of those too!

Sure mom... but don't go over spending on little old me?!

I have to admit that the black skin and bones always turned me off a bit, so I've never processed a Silkie. However, after you've done all the dirty work, the meat looks delicious and that stock looks amazing!

Men who cook are AWESOME!!!!!!!!

Now you make me wish I married one of those...

I did, but I'm not bringin' 'em with when I visit you Karen. He'll object to my picking up PC on the way!

That does look good PC...
Does Silkie taste like dark meat chicken? Or does a Silkie breast taste like a white meat chicken breast?

Silkie tastes just like a young roo to me. The breasts aren't very meaty so you don't get the mouthfull of white meat you do like eating a cornish. Of the 3 chickens I cooked here I ended up with 1.5 pounds of cleaned meat which isn't too bad.

I will admit that to my culturized stomach the raw silkie looks a bit unappetizing, the meat looks bloodshot or bruised. The cooked meat looks good though. I guess my mind interprets it as being well done and seasoned.

I've been wanting to butcher some silkie roos but have been to squeemish, other chickens don't bother me at all. But I did have to get past the white skin of the Australorps, I had only butchered yellow skinned chickens before that, funny how something new sets us off!
I really appreciate all the tips and recipes everyone shares on this forum, thanks everyone.

We're happy you're here. Squeemish is normal, to me at least.
