There's a basic recipe in the Spice and Spirit purple Pesach cookbook.

My grandmother and mother have been making it since I have been little. You pretty much store up a bunch of chicken (or any mix of poultry skin) cut it up into bit sizeish pieces or a little larger than (about a 1x2 inch piece) put it in a pot with some oil and let it cook down for a while on a very small fire until it crisps up. Once finished spoon out and drain excess oil, I guess you could then fry alot of onions in the remaining schmaltz of the pot mix together and serve. Enjoy, this has always been a treat for me. Smile

Ugh, yes, I've heard of it. Cholesterol & fat city! I've never tried it...even the thought makes me ill.

Yum, yum yummy! But terrible for your arteries. Imashosh has the recipe prety much right, although I never bother cutting up the skin; it curls up by itself, and I certainly don't add any oil! The skin itself will produce all the shmaltz you want, and then some.

My grandmother and mother used to make schmaltz every few weeks. They'd save the fat and skin from a few weeks worth of chickens and then make it.

I never liked the gribbiness... my mom and sister did though.

Then of course we all got health-conscious.

I belive in English it would be called cracklings.

Same here. Then again I hate skin and won't touch wings feels as though I am eating a chicken. Legs I won't touch either just the white meat and the thighs.

On Pesach, when we use shmaltz, I used to tell the kids that the rubbery shmaltz-skin nuggets - the way it gets without frying it, but after the shmaltz is all melted - was "pesachdike gum". Smile

They seriously believed me. LOL

I make it all the time. First I fry onions, then add the gribbiness and fry it together. It tastes great on a piece of bread, over rice, or just as a side dish. If you want to disguise what it is then just chop up the gribness before you serve it.

oh yeah. My father use to make it for us erev Shabbat. Though we weren't Orthodox we did celebrate Shabbat and that is one of my fond memories.

But yeah. Artery clogger to be sure.

Now I skin my chickens before I cook them.

I thought all you gotta do is fry it in a small amount of oil until it gets crispy.

You're reminding me of pesach already - not ready for that yet!
