If you've ever heard the word "schmaltz" before, you likely know someone who's Jewish. It's a Yiddish word that actually means "excessive sentimentality in art or music," which can be applied here but the word is more commonly known in the kitchen as "rendered chicken fat," or, more simply, chicken grease. Similar to bacon grease, it solidifies when stored in the fridge and melts once heated. It is a very flavorful fat to use in place of vegetable or canola oil and even butter with a medium-high smoke point, but it's more traditionally used in Jewish dishes such as matzo balls, chicken soup, and kasha varnishkes (bow ties with buckwheat). It only takes two ingredients to make this Jewish delight, making schmaltz easier than learning how to waltz!

Thank you for a very educational lesson in Jewish cooking Jeffrey! A shiksa girl like me finds it fascinating!
The leftover skin is called gribenitz or gribenes (depending on where you are from). To me the schmaltz is the byproduct. The gribenitz is the real prize.
I’m Cajun French it’s similiar “gremise” something like that. It also means “eye boogers” lol because it’s little crusty bits
I combined this with Sam The Cooking Guy's hard to find recipie for grilling chicken in a cast iron pan. I made it with a bunch of spices and damn. Can't eat that everyday, but it's really good. Sam is Canadian Jewish . I definately reseved the chicken oil and mexican spices for the mashed potatoes.
Been reading about it for years and now I have a how-to! Love the schmaltz!!
Let me get this out of the way, first: _תחי ישראל!_ Okay.
Thanks so much for this! I always knew there was a use for what I was scraping away from my poultry stock all these years, and I knew it was Jewish, but I didn't know _what._ So I really and truly *thank you* for this. I learned something today, and I _love_ learning.
You guys are wonderful!
I've been making schmaltz for mazo balls forever! I didn't know about the onion part, sounds super yummy! Thanks
I’ve never head of it. So we will see!!!!
Yay! A new video. 👍🏻
Thank you for this one! I only wish I had seen it sooner, all the chicken skin I threw out that I could have used lol!
As I understand it schmaltz is used as a butter replacement.🤔. But I could be wrong. I am not Jewish but I remember reading something about kosher not using milk and meat together.
I used to have it on my bread with salt when I was a young.
Thanks Jeffrey! Love your work! Have you made Knishes or Latkes?
Thanks! I have a great recipe on my channel and blog!
So I've definitely been doing mine wrong! I make (made) like a simmered broth and Then chilled and remove the "schmaltz" layer. Plus, your (i.e. the Correct) way leaves behind such useable leftovers (for some reason, made me think of doing a breakfast taco). Great timing, I have 5 lbs of drums to use today for a different recipe...
omg, everyone on youtube needs to stp with the JAZZ we want to linsten to you not endless distracting noise. nevermind, close
Jeffrey I lost your reply to my comment. Can u please send again.
What is banjos breed?
Banjo is a Norwich terrier.
@@brendagroff8478 thanks! I'm in love 😍
What about using chicken fat also? Or does that make it something else all together? I microwave my leftover chicken skins to make a crispy snack. Commercially packed skins are so expensive!
The fat can definitely be used. I trim a lot of fat off of whole turkeys before I roast them and it makes wonderful schmaltz. Plus, I find the fat makes more schmaltz than the skin, although you get less gribbenes to snack on at the end.
Chopped liver!!
Crumble up those crispy skins and use instead of bacon bits. Good, healthy fat. Much better than those science project seed oils. I crisp my chicken skins in the air fryer.
Hi, I'm curious what is so bad about seed oils? I keep hearing about it but not sure if it's newspapers reporting bad or salacious science (like how eggs were too high in cholesterol 10 years ago or butter was bad).
I think I’m going to throw up Jeffrey! I love Kisha but stop using it in it. I adore u and have all your cookbooks I wish u had a show on food network With your personality!
Haven’t had it since my Nana! It’s so unhealthy!
Not true. All the BS about animal fats is based on one man's UNtested theory.
