Everything that turns black when burned is largely made of carbon. When you burn a bit of wood, or your chicken dinner (or any other type of food) what you are left with is mostly carbon. This happens when there is not enough oxygen to completely burn all the carbon. If you see a truck (and sometimes older jet airplanes) when they go to full power spew out lots of black smoke they are not completely burning the fuel.
