Directions:
Directions:
In a medium size pan heat chicken fat and onion on high till onion has gotten dark but not burned and fat has gotten a nice golden color and the skin from the fat (griebens) has gotten crispy. Set aside to cool just a little, and then strain into a cleaned pickle jar with a spoon left in the jar to keep the jar from cracking. Fat should be a beautiful golden color. Set aside strained skin from the fat (griebens) and use in or on top of chopped liver. (what a treat). When fat in jar cools put the chicken fat (schmaltz) into the refrigerator and use in place of oil in many recipes. Smells delightful.
