Is there a good, healthful use for chicken fat left over from an organic chicken roasted w/ rosemary?

I roasted an organic chicken with rosemary yesterday and have a ton of chicken fat left over. My Jewish mother used to call this schmaltz. I know people used to use this for many things before saturated fat became unfashionable, but unfortunately my mom passed away and I can’t ask her. Does anyone know what I can use this for?

First of all, who the heck uses chicken fat for making soap?! I’ll stick to my Irish Spring, thank you very much.

Well, anyway, chicken fat has less cholesterol than pork or beef fat, but still more than regular oil. But it’s still great in adding flavor, to potatoes and vegetables (if butter/olive oil isn’t good enough).

If you ever had duck confit, you’ll love chicken confit. I have like a tub of chicken confit in the fridge right now, which I made about 5 months ago, and it’s still great the day I made it. It’s healthy, in that most of the fat has been removed. A quick seared thigh or a breast to make a spinach salad, I’m good to go. Usually, I use a little of the melted fat to make the salad dressing!!!

The beauty of confit is the fat. It acts like an air tight container (the ancient . And with the extra salt, a preservative like in brining. And it really helps if you have a lot of that fat to cover every nook and cranny.

Poultry fat, I say save it for confit…

The Phantom of the Opera (Original 1986 London Cast) $14.95 What's left to be said about Andrew Lloyd Webber's adaptation of The Phantom of the Opera a decade after its premiere? That it's maddeningly ubiquitous? A stitch-up of various themes shoplifted from the Italian operatic repertoire? A critic-proof crowd pleaser that's probably being staged somewhere in the world as you read this? A megahit that will likely outlive Titanic in the pop-culture pantheo...
