It is not the marinading that does the coloration. Trust me. It is the genetics behind the silkies that do it - the melanization that makes the skin, meat, and bones dark. I have butchered and cleaned a few evil silkie roosters from my flock for asian friends (after a couple years swearing I...

Another picture of her from last week
