TASTING NOTES FROM THE CURATOR

Otherwise known as Poulet Noir, the Black Leg Chicken is recognizable for its distinct black legs. It has a truly superior flavor, succulent and lean. This chicken is fed a diet of corn, and is raised free range, able to run around in plenty of space. This makes this chicken’s meat rich, lean, juicy, and so flavorful.

PREPARATION AND PAIRINGS

This chicken is ready to cook, so you can cook the Black Leg Chicken Red Label with any chicken recipe. A really simple one will really make this shine. Try a Garlic Herb Butter Chicken for a special dinner.

  • Pour melted butter, white wine, olive oil, and some fresh lemon juice all over the Black Leg Chicken, under the skin, and inside its cavity.
  • Season the skin and inside the cavity liberally with salt and pepper. Sprinkle some chopped parsley.
  • Rub minced garlic all over the chicken. Make sure all the ingredients are mixed well and slathered around and inside the chicken.
  • Put a garlic head, some sprig of rosemary, and the squeezed lemon into the cavity of the chicken. Tie the legs together with some kitchen twine.
  • Place the chicken onto a foil-lined baking tray breast-side up. Roast in a preheated oven at 400F (200C) for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Baste it halfway through cooking.
  • Baste again then let it broil for another 2-3 minutes, until chicken is golden.
