Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Place the fat and skin scraps in a heavy-bottomed, nonreactive pot ( cast iron , copper, and aluminum can give your schmaltz an off taste). Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally until the scraps render most of their fat and begin to brown.
- Add the onion, if using. Raise the heat to medium. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the chicken scraps are golden brown and crispy, but not burnt. Turn off the heat and let cool for a few minutes.
- Strain into a heatproof glass or Pyrex container. Canning jars work well for this. A fine-mesh strainer will work in a pinch, but cheesecloth or a paper or cloth coffee filter are best.
- Cover tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to six months.

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.

SHMALTZ
Shmaltz is God's gift to mankind. I grew up on the stuff, although most people don't eat it today. I started making it again, because the flavor is so absolutely amazing, and even though it's heart-attack deadly, it is so worth it to have some every now and again. I usually save the chicken fat and skin in the freezer when cooking chickens, and when I have enough, I render the shmaltz. Believe me, there is nothing better than matzoh balls or chopped liver made with shmaltz. My mother fries potato disks in the stuff, one of my best childhood culinary memories.

Steps:
- Cut up the chicken fat into 1 inch chunks.
- Cut the skin into pieces, about the same size as the fat.
- Cut the onion into quarters, and then into slices.
- Do not mince the onion.
- In a heavy, preferably non-stick pot, place the chicken fat and the skin.
- Over a medium-high fire, let it cook until the fat has melted and the skin is beginning to get golden brown.
- Add the onion and the salt (you decide how much).
- Once you add the onions, don't leave the pot alone.
- Mix frequently to avoid sticking and buring.
- Keep cooking until the onions are a gorgeous golden brown color and the skin pieces are dark brown (but not black).
- The skin has now turned into something heavenly called gribenes.
- Remove the pot from the flame.
- Let cool and then strain the mixture into a glass or metal bowl.
- Pat the gribenes with a paper towel.
- You can now pour the cooled shmaltz into a jar and keep it indefinitely in the fridge or freezer.
- Keep the gribenes separate from the shmaltz in another jar.
- Your shmaltz is now ready to be used in matzo balls, kugels, chopped liver, and for frying.
- Gribenes are best eaten in a sandwich with chopped liver, or sprinkled on the chopped liver as an edible garnish.
SCHMALTZ (GRIEVEN) (((THE BEST OF THE BEST)))
Use the schmaltz (grieven) in the potato filling of knishes, chopped chicken or beef liver, matzoh balls, kugel, home fried potatoes, etc.. This will add the most delicious flavor you have ever tasted. Rather than saving the fat and skin when I make a chicken, I go to a specialty gourmet market and I purchase the chicken fat and skin from their meat department. It's very inexpensive.

Steps:
- Cover the bottom of a large skillet with peanut oil.
- In the skillet, over medium-high heat, sauté and render the chicken fat with skin, the onions that are quartered and sliced thin, and the salt, until the skin and onions are golden brown and crisp, but not burnt.
- When the onions are nearly done, add 2 teaspoons of baking soda.
- Remove the skin and drain the skin on paper towel.
- Break the skin into small pieces and return the pieces of skin to the chicken fat and onion mixture.
- This is called"grieven".
- Divide the grieven into 3 to 4 ounce portions, and freeze each portion in tightly sealed plastic freezer bags for at least 3 weeks or indefinitely, using it as needed.

SCHMALTZ AND GRIBENES
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.

- 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.
