Ayam Cemani : This Weird Breed Of Chicken Is The Tastiest When Cooked

The breed is known as Ayam Cemani originating in Indonesia.

It is a weird one.


Everything in it is black from skin, bones, eyes, ears, combs, wattles even organs like liver, lungs and heart. A very special breed.



It's among the most expensive chicken breeds in the world. A fully grown chicken could cost you $200. Believe it or not.



The blackness is due to a genetic trait known as fibromelanosis in which the cells tend to have too much melanin.

The breed is so rare and that's why it's so expensive.
