I couldn't get it to copy,,,,,there's a decent step by step guide on    penniless parenting.....how to render chicken fat...[COLOR=0E7744]www.pennilessparenting.com/2010/10/rendering-chicken-fa...[/COLOR]...not sure the link will work

The link didn't work, and I couldn't get a search result (bad connection) but I've bookmarked that blog!

I save gobbets of chicken fat in a baggie in the freezer until I have a pound or so, then I cook it slowly in a skillet over low heat and pour off and keep the liquid fat. The best stuff ever for cooking hash brown potatoes in, or for using instead of butter in pastry for chicken pies. Nom.

If you can eat chicken nuggets, you can east homegrown chicken. The ones they sell at that major fast food place, as well as the chicken they use in that major soup brand are not the most tender young chickens nor at they raised with the care yours are.

(what do you think they do with all the "spent" layer hens from factory egg farms, just saying, not positive about the nuggets, but they are so processed as to be unrecognizable as chicken, to me)

are the nuggets even real chicken? even our one dog won't eat them, he turns his nose up and walks away, but our frenchie, she eats them, but then she eat everything

time to pull the chicken from the oven and feint

rendered the fat from over the Kidneys on a pig. The Process is:

Grind the fat
put the fat into a slow cooker on high and let it go until it reaches 180 degrees. Stir occasionally.
put the liquid and meat pieces through a cheese cloth lined strainer.
Put the meat back in and let it brown.

Store the leaf Lard in a lidded container for several months in the fridge. Freeze for up to a year or so.

I fed the meat pieces to the chickens. Leaf Lard is amazing! Makes the best pie crust ever.

You should look into leaf lard--it is like gold and impossible to find.

On the health aspects, It is one of the healthiest things you can eat.
