Saturday night I wasn't feeling well and wanted to quickly start lunch for Sunday. I had a whole chicken and remembered that you had a post where you did something very simple with it in the crockpot. I did a search on your site and found these two posts. Our whole crockpot chicken was very tasty for Sunday Renahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11812562483927098409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7177530866163973083.post-61991696144901913502010-01-19T22:49:10.291-08:002010-01-19T22:49:10.291-08:00Thanks so much for sharing your frugal tips!

You know how they say to refrigerate the stock, then skim off the fat that solidified on top and THROW IT AWAY? Don't! That's chicken schmaltz. Rendered fat. I skim it and store it in the fridge. Then I use it in place of oil or butter for sauteeing.

I've been buying whole chickens obsessively lately, searching for the perfect stock/broth recipe, but I love roast chicken and feel cheated just boiling the whole bird. This sounds like the perfect solution to both, it's in my crock pot as I type!
