　　The Black Phoenix Chicken has been raised in China for over 400 years, but due to various reasons, the breed was once on the verge of extinction. In 1993, Guangdong Province was the first to introduce this breed of black-feathered chicken from abroad. After more than three years of purification and selective breeding, the pass rate of offspring reached over 90%. It has now been officially named the "Chinese Black Phoenix Chicken." The development of this breed has drawn significant attention from experts and industry professionals both in China and abroad. Experts have pointed out: "The successful purification and cultivation of the black silky-feathered, black-tongued chicken is nothing short of a miracle, representing a valuable genetic resource among China’s specialty black-feathered chickens."

　　Authentic Black Phoenix Chickens also possess the "ten complete characteristics," namely: an all-black silky downy coat, black skin, black meat, black bones, a crested comb, a topknot, greenish ears, five toes, feathered legs, and whiskers. In addition, their tongue, internal organs, fat, and blood are all black. This breed of chicken boasts strong disease resistance, is not adept at flying, and has a diverse diet.

　　The Black Phoenix Chicken has a sweet and mild flavor, warms yang energy, nourishes yin, and tonifies kidneys. Not only does it offer the nourishing, anti-cancer, beautifying, and anti-aging benefits typical of the world’s natural black foods, but it also helps reduce fever, replenish weakness, regulate essence, treat leukorrhea, build vitality, and enrich blood. Moreover, the Black Phoenix Chicken is a premium tonic that is high in protein, low in fat, and low in cholesterol, and is highly regarded for its unique delicate fragrance and tender texture. When cooked, it becomes as gelatinous and tender as soft-shell turtle, yet its tonic effects far surpass those of turtle. A popular saying among the Chinese people goes: "Its gentle tonic effect surpasses that of soft-shell turtle, its healing power rivals that of pigeon, and its beauty-enhancing quality is like that of pearls."
