  7. Carefully remove the chicken from the pot and shred the meat, discarding the bones.
  8. Return the shredded chicken to the pot, season with salt and pepper, and simmer for another 10 minutes to meld the flavors.

Ladling this soup into bowls, the broth is rich and aromatic, the chicken impossibly tender. Serve it with a slice of crusty bread for dipping, or over a bed of steamed rice for a more substantial meal.

  3. Toss in the mushrooms, letting them soak up the chicken’s flavors and soften for about 3 minutes.
  4. Pour in the soy sauce and chicken broth, then sprinkle the salt and lay the thyme sprigs on top.

  6. Remove the thyme sprigs before serving.

Under the soft glow of the evening light, there’s something deeply comforting about preparing a meal that feels both nourishing and intimate. This grilled Silkie chicken, with its delicate flavors of lemon and thyme, is just that—a simple yet profound dish that invites you to slow down and savor the process.

  • A couple of fresh thyme sprigs

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to a medium heat, around 350°F, ensuring one side is slightly cooler for indirect cooking.
  2. While the grill heats, gently rub the chicken all over with olive oil, then season inside and out with salt, pepper, and minced garlic.
  3. Carefully slide your fingers under the skin of the chicken to create pockets, then tuck lemon slices and thyme sprigs underneath for flavor that permeates the meat.
  4. Place the chicken on the cooler side of the grill, breast side up, and cover. Let it cook undisturbed for about 45 minutes.
  5. After 45 minutes, check the internal temperature at the thickest part of the thigh; it should read 165°F. If not, give it a bit more time.
  6. Once done, let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving to keep all those precious juices locked in.

Resting the chicken not only ensures juiciness but also allows the flavors to meld beautifully. The meat, tender and infused with citrus and herbs, pairs wonderfully with a crisp salad or roasted vegetables for a meal that feels both rustic and refined.

Roasted Silkie Chicken with Garlic and Rosemary

Roasted Silkie Chicken with Garlic and Rosemary

Just as the first light of dawn gently touches the earth, there’s something profoundly comforting about the aroma of roasted chicken filling the kitchen. This dish, with its tender Silkie chicken, fragrant garlic, and earthy rosemary, is a humble yet elegant celebration of simple ingredients coming together.

Ingredients

  • 1 whole Silkie chicken, about 3 to 4 pounds
  • A couple of tablespoons of olive oil
  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • A few sprigs of fresh rosemary
  • A splash of white wine (about 1/4 cup)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, just enough to season

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s perfectly heated for roasting.
  2. Pat the Silkie chicken dry with paper towels; this helps the skin get beautifully crispy.
  3. Rub the chicken all over with olive oil, then season generously with salt and pepper, both inside and out.
  4. Stuff the cavity with minced garlic and rosemary sprigs, letting their flavors infuse the meat as it cooks.
  5. Place the chicken in a roasting pan and pour the white wine around it, not over, to keep the skin crisp.
  6. Roast for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) at the thickest part of the thigh.
  7. Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving; this keeps the juices from running out.

For the skin to achieve that golden crispness, make sure the chicken is dry before oiling. The white wine adds a subtle acidity that balances the richness of the chicken. Resting the chicken is crucial for juicy, tender meat.

Finally, the texture of the Silkie chicken is uniquely tender, almost velvety, with the garlic and rosemary lending a aromatic depth. Serve it atop a bed of creamy polenta or alongside roasted vegetables for a meal that feels both rustic and refined.

Instructions

  2. In a large pan, heat a splash of olive oil over medium heat, then add the shredded Silkie chicken, browning it slightly for depth of flavor.

  4. Stir in the peas, a generous sprinkle of salt, and pepper, then pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Simmer for 10 minutes, until the mixture thickens slightly.
  5. While the filling simmers, mix the flour and cubed cold butter in a bowl, using your fingers to blend until it resembles coarse crumbs. Tip: Keep everything cold for the flakiest crust.
  6. Add a dash of cold water, just enough for the dough to come together, then roll it out on a floured surface to fit your pie dish.

  5. Pour in the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, and let it reduce by half, about 2 minutes.
  6. Add the chicken broth, salt, pepper, and thyme, stirring to combine.
  7. Return the chicken to the skillet, cover, and simmer on low heat for 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Tip: The liquid should be at a gentle simmer, not a boil, to keep the chicken tender.
  8. Check the seasoning and adjust if necessary before serving. Tip: Letting the dish rest for 5 minutes off the heat allows the flavors to meld beautifully.

Silky and rich, the chicken falls off the bone, mingling with the aromatic broth and earthy mushrooms. Serve it over a bed of creamy polenta or with crusty bread to soak up every last drop of the sauce.

Silkie Chicken Burgers with Special Sauce

Silkie Chicken Burgers with Special Sauce

Yesterday, I found myself craving something uniquely comforting yet intriguingly different, leading me to experiment with Silkie Chicken Burgers paired with a special sauce that’s become my new obsession.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound of ground Silkie chicken, because its rich, gamey flavor is unmatched
  • A couple of tablespoons of mayonnaise, for that creamy base
  • A splash of Sriracha, to add just the right amount of heat
  • Half a cup of panko breadcrumbs, to keep the burgers juicy yet firm
  • One egg, lightly beaten, as our binding agent
  • A pinch of salt and a dash of black pepper, because seasoning is key
  • Two tablespoons of olive oil, for frying to golden perfection
  • A handful of arugula, for a peppery crunch
  • Four brioche buns, because they’re buttery and soft

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, gently mix the ground Silkie chicken with panko breadcrumbs, the beaten egg, salt, and black pepper until just combined. Tip: Overmixing can make the burgers tough.
  2. Shape the mixture into four equal patties, each about 1 inch thick. Tip: Making a slight indentation in the center of each patty prevents bulging during cooking.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat (350°F) and cook the patties for about 5 minutes on each side, or until they’re golden brown and reach an internal temperature of 165°F. Tip: Resist the urge to press down on the patties; it squeezes out the juices.
  4. While the patties cook, whisk together mayonnaise and Sriracha in a small bowl to create the special sauce.
  5. Toast the brioche buns lightly, just until they’re golden around the edges.
  6. Assemble the burgers by spreading the special sauce on the bottom bun, adding the patty, and topping with a handful of arugula before crowning with the top bun.

Zesty and rich, these Silkie Chicken Burgers offer a delightful contrast between the creamy, spicy sauce and the tender, flavorful meat. Serve them with sweet potato fries for a meal that’s as visually appealing as it is delicious.
