The invention relates to a high performance liquid chromatography method for jointly, rapidly and accurately detecting the contents of melanin and inosinic acid in chicken of silky fowl. The method comprises the following steps of: (1) carrying out protease oscillating enzymolysis on a chicken sample for 24 hours, centrifuging to obtain liquid supernatant which serves as inosinic acid to-be-detected solution; (2) orderly washing precipitate which is subjected to enzymolysis and centrifugation with diethyl ether, absolute ethyl alcohol and ultrapure water, removing lipid and impurities, so as to obtain a melanin crude product, oxidizing the crude product into 2, 3, 5-tricarboxylic acid pyrrole under alkaline condition, extracting with diethyl ether, and drying; and (3) dissolving the dry crystal with the to-be-detected inosinic acid solution, loading and detecting the sample on a high performance liquid chromatograph, and quantifying by an external standard method. The high performance liquid chromatography method only needs little sample to simultaneously detect the contents of the melanin and inosinic acid in the chicken sample of silky fowl, moreover, the method is simple in experimental operation steps, saves detection cost, and is beneficial for acceleration of screening excellent silky fowl breed (series) or combination with both outstanding functions and flavor substances.
