Yield Makes about 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 cups chicken fat and skin, cut into 1/2-inch pieces or smaller
Kosher salt
Pinch of pepper
1 cup onion rings, about 1/8-inch thick

Steps:

  • 1. Wash fat and skin well in a colander, and pat dry. Place in a heavy skillet, and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.
  • 2. Cook, uncovered, over low heat (you can turn it up a bit once the fat has begun melting). When the fat starts to melt and get slightly brown, add onions (and garlic cloves if you like), and continue cooking until onions and cracklings are golden brown and crunchy.
  • 3. When partially cooled, strain over a bowl to remove onions and cracklings, and refrigerate them in a covered glass jar. Poor schmaltz into another jar, cover, and refrigerate.

Gribenes are a great addition to salads and soups. They add a nice crunchy texture and a boost of flavor.

I love using schmaltz to fry my eggs. It gives them a rich, buttery flavor.

Gribenes are the perfect snack to munch on while you're cooking. They're crispy and flavorful, and they're also a good source of protein.

This recipe is a great way to add flavor to your dishes. I use schmaltz in my matzo ball soup and it always turns out delicious.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my schmaltz turned out too greasy. I think I'll try using less chicken fat next time.

The schmaltz was easy to make and turned out great. The gribenes were a bit too crispy for my taste, but they were still good.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken fat. The schmaltz was perfect for frying potatoes, and the gribenes were a delicious addition to my salad.

I've never had schmaltz or gribenes before, but I'm so glad I tried this recipe. The schmaltz was rich and flavorful, and the gribenes were the perfect crispy snack. I'll definitely be making this again.

This recipe was absolutely delicious! The schmaltz was flavorful and the gribenes were crispy and savory. I served it with challah bread and it was a hit with my family.
