Chicken stock fat

[funtimewincies]

I was wondering whether any of you use the layer of white fat that settles on home-made chicken stock when it's been cooled in the fridge.

I usually just scrape it off and bin it, but was wondering if it could be used for doing roast potatoes of something.

Any tips?

ooh, marking to see if anyone has tips. I've got a bowlfull of homemade chicken stock in the fridge. The stock will be making a paella but the fat will probably go in the composting bin.

Roast potatoes sound like a good idea. Poor mans Goosefat

Looks like we're the only one's with spare chicken stock fat funtimes

(secret confession - I mash some of mine with chicken livers left over from making the stock. lots of salt and pepper and have it on toast. one of my favourite lunches)

GoldenSnitch, our fridge secrets are out!

Actually the chicken livers on toast thing sounds alright. My dad goes all misty-eyed about beef dripping sandwiches .

An ex of mine used to dip bread in the roasting tin whenever his Mum made a roast. Proper dripping sandwiches!

Never have been good with entrails so the thought of chicken livers makes me go a bit funny. I'm sure I'm missing out but I just can't face them.

My chicken stock Paella was gorgeous though. Still got the fat left waiting for a delicious recipe

made dumplings with thw chicken fat once instead of suet. they were.....odd.
