Poultry

Black Orpington

B tier

Black Orpington is a recognised breed or type under Chicken, shaped around mild poultry with lean white and richer dark meat. Compared with other Chicken lines, it differs in texture and moisture, so recipes that specify Black Orpington are not being pedantic. In the kitchen, choose Black Orpington when you want that specific profile of Chicken rather than a generic lot. Specify it for stock and roast when breed or cultivar changes eating quality. Bone-in skin-on baste themselves; boneless cook faster—pull before dryness sets in.
