Title
If you don't know Schmaltz you are about to enter a whole new world of delicious cooking. No joke.
Chicken Schmaltz has been used in Eastern Europe for generations and we are proud to bring this incredible Organic Free Range Chicken Fat to you!
Nothing really compares to organic Chicken Fat Schmaltz. It has the richness of duck fat but with a milder and more aromatic flavor. Schmaltz adds complexity to a variety of dishes that you simply cannot reproduce any other way. Schmaltz is a joy to cook with and is the easiest way to add depth and complexity to leafy vegetables, stir-fries, pan-fried steaks, fish, poultry, soups, stews, baked goods, and for a special treat spread it right on a piece of bread like you would a high-quality butter or fine olive oil. It's no exaggeration to say Schmaltz gives potatoes and other root vegetables a flavor that is beyond anything most of us have experienced. If potatoes could talk to schmaltz they would say, "You complete me!" Fatworks Chicken Schmaltz is made with 100% Organic Free Range Chicken (which ain't easy to find!) and is rendered with the typical care and passion that you would expect from Fatworks.
And yes we know that so some a "true schmaltz" must be rendered chicken fat cooked in onions with salt (and preferably by your grandmother). Not everyone loves onions so our Chicken Schmaltz is an unseasoned version, but if you are a purist and you wish to make the schmaltziest schmaltz that you could ever possibly schmaltz with, we recommend that you pour your Fatworks' Organic Free Range Chicken Fat in a pan, add some diced onions, salt, and sautée until the onions caramelize and then strain the fat into a container and put in the fridge to solidify. Voilà!."
I'll use this on sourdough toast under a half an avocado and also added to my chicken bone stock for flavor, along with fresh herbs and whole food salt but man is it great added to any soup for added flavor like I did here.
I was super impressed! In place of butter and oils, this really did do the job and well.
I’ve been using the chicken fat for pan-searing on thighs and it has been fantastic and flavorful.
Chicken fat green beans are next!
We used it for a complete and balanced diet recipe that was made for us by a board certified veterinary nutritionist for our dog. Having easily accessible and safe chicken fat has been very helpful to make her food easier.
Move over coffee…there’s a new morning drink in town! Bone broth with a big, healthy dollop of Fatworks Chicken Fat! It’s a perfect accompaniment to my fat soluble morning vitamins when I don’t want to eat yet. The fat keeps me satisfied until later in the day, and it tastes like a warm hug from my grandma. It’s the perfect way for this keto-eating, fat-loving, mostly carnivore woman to start her day.
I'm a Cantonese chef and I have been using the Fatworks chicken and duck fat for a long time. We use a lot of lard and chicken fat in this cuisine, and this product is very convenient. These oils give me a lot more room to express the flavors that I want to develop when building something complicated.
This chicken fat is especially important for depth when stir frying Dungeness crab or lobster.
LOL, I didn't realize others buy these for cosmetics. I only use it for cooking and I had no problems with ordering or shipping.
This is my second order of Fatworks. I have used the Chicken Schmaltz twice now to roast vegetables. The first time was cauliflower and onions, and this time it was small Yukon gold potatoes and carrots. Veggies, schmaltz, thyme, basil, black pepper, salt, and fresh garlic. I like to roast in a cast iron pan to get a good browning and caramelization.
My orders from Fatworks have arrived quickly, in secure packaging.
I am so glad I found Fatworks for this great source of clean, unaltered, healthy fats to include in our diet. I have autoimmune issues, so I am working hard to consume only the best, cleanest, and original sourced foods. It is making a huge difference in my and my husband's health. Thank you Fatworks!
This has been interesting wo cook with! Less jumpy off the pan than the duck. I'd never seen organic chicken oil before. So happy to be able to cook my chicken in its naturally intended oil
I use both the organic chicken fat and organic beef tallow. For just about everything. I’m using the organic chicken fat to fry my chicken fajitas, I use the beef tallow for steak fajitas
I honestly had never heard of chicken schmaltz until we brought it in for a regular customer, it has since become very popular, it was a good find! And Fatworks seems to make the best
The chicken fat was my favorite of the poultry fats! THe goose, duck and chicken are actually all good, but the chicken tastes the most “neutral” which is prefer. I am on GAPs and I add the chicken fat to my stock right before drinking it. It’s a lovely!
Was making my own chicken fat but it was difficult to get enough while still using the chicken meat that was filling our freezer. The FatWorks product has worked very well and I am so pleased that the scent and taste of chicken is definitely present since the main purpose is to enrich food for a five pound doggie who wasn't eating well. However now she is getting the nutrition she needs and enjoying eating again.
So far I haven't used the FatWorks chicken fat for any other purpose but plan to soon. The shipment arrived quickly, was packaged very well so I have been telling others about FatWorks products.
This is the first time buying this and it is amazing. I use it to add fat content to my broth for rice Pilaf so it’s not dry and really does the trick.
Chicken fatis very hard to find. It was Passover and it was desperately needed. You were able to ship it to me in an extremely timely manner and it was much appreciated. I will definitely use you again when I need a special fat. Thanks for saving the day.

I thought the jars were 16 oz each and so was surprised when they arrived and are 8 oz. Very steep pricing but I am extremely grateful that you have this business and provide a beautiful product. Packaging was great. In the past I got chicken schmaltz at my local health food stores/coop. It has not been on the shelf for a number of years and so out of desperation I paid $50 (w/tax & shipping) for 16 oz of schmaltz. I also used to be able to get chicken skin from local meat counters (to make my own) but now they all receive chicken pre-prepared.
I have a food allergy called "alpha gal" so I cannot use butter. Plant based margarine doesn’t really work for frying but this schmaltz is great. Use it for any frying: eggs, hash browns, chicken, veggies, stir fry anything, etc. If you can use butter, I still recommend using this product as the flavor is unbeatable.
Love the chicken fat. Unfortunately had to stop using it because of the Rosemary Extract. Rosemary Extract is a high oxalate, and it was giving me reactions. Would purchase again if you had an organic pastured line without the rosemary extract.
