SCHMALTZ (RENDERED CHICKEN FAT)
This is the ultimate way to prepare your schmaltz. Schmaltz is to Jews as bacon grease is to Southerners! Used in many traditional Jewish recipes to replace butter, which is "trayf" (butter is not to be served alongside meat products according to Jewish dietary laws). Try it, you will find it so tasty in many of your savory...

Steps:
- 1. Chop the frozen pieces of fat coursely, then put them in a skillet with enough water to barely cover. Place over low heat. The fat will start rendering when the water simmers.
- 2. When the fat appears about half rendered and the water has evaporated, add the onion, continue to cook until the crackling and onion are well browned.
- 3. Pour the fat through a strainer into a jar. It will keep in fridge for months. Save the onions and crackling to flavor dishes, or, since you are so AWESOME, sprinkle with a little salt and eat them before anyone finds out you have them.

Steps:
- Place the chicken fat and salt in a small, heavy saucepan.
- Cook very slowly over low heat, stirring from time to time, until the fat is completely liquified and the cracklings are golden brown.
- Strain the fat into a jar or crock and refrigerate. Reserve the cracklings - crisp, fried bits that are left after fat is rendered - to use in making chopped liver or as a garnish for salads or mashed potatoes.

SCHMALTZ AND GRIBENES
Schmaltz is rendered poultry fat, in this case made from chicken, while gribenes are its crispy, crackling-like byproduct that comes from bits of chicken skin. The key to this recipe is to go low and slow: You want the fat to cook gently and thoroughly so it renders completely without burning. Some would argue that the onion is mandatory and not optional, but if you plan to use the schmaltz for very delicate recipes, or sweet recipes (chilled schmaltz works wonderfully as the fat in pastry dough), feel free to leave it out. Your schmaltz won't have as deep a flavor, but it will be more versatile. Schmaltz will last for at least a week in the refrigerator and up to six months in the freezer. If your butcher won't sell it to you, the best way to obtain chicken skin and fat is to collect trimmings in the freezer every time you buy a whole bird. Or you can strip the skin and fat from chicken thighs and save the skinless meat to use in other recipes.

Steps:
- In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, toss chicken skin and fat with salt and 1 tablespoon water and spread out in one layer. Cook over medium heat for about 15 minutes, until fat starts to render and skin begins to turn golden at the edges.
- Add onions and cook 45 to 60 minutes longer, tossing occasionally, until chicken skin and onions are crispy and richly browned, but not burned.
- Strain through a sieve. Reserve the schmaltz. If you want the gribenes to be crispier, return to the skillet and cook over high heat until done to taste. Drain gribenes on a paper-towel-lined plate.

SCHMALTZ AND GRIBENES (RENDERED CHICKEN FAT)
The classic Jewish fat for use in meat dishes. The clarified fat is called "schmaltz," and the onion and crispy skin bits are called "gribenes." Gribenes are an essential addition to chopped liver and mashed potatoes (for knish or blintz fillings, or just for eating) or scrambled eggs. The water is necessary to keep the onions from burning before the fat melts. Serving size approx 1 tbsp.

SCHMALTZ (RENDERED CHICKEN FAT)
Schmaltz is highly flavorful rendered chicken fat often used in Jewish cooking. It's easy to make and worh the effort as it tastes quite a bit different than butter or other similar fats. Try it in chopped chicken liver (pate). If you are making chicken schmaltz at the same time as the chopped chicken liver, feel free to add the browned onions and cracklings to the liver in place of the sauteed onions.

Steps:
- Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan. Partially cover the pan and bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. The fat will begin to crackle as it cooks. When you no longer hear the fat crackle, remove the lid, reduce the heat to low, and continue to cook until the skin becomes crispy, about 15 to 25 minutes. Lower the heat, if necessary, to keep the skin from browning too quickly. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Strain into a small bowl. If desired, reserve the crispy skin. Refrigerate, covered for up to 1 week.
- Tip: Trim the chicken fat and skin from whole birds before roasting and store it in the freezer until there is enough to render, or ask your butcher for some.
