The Ultimate Nose-to-Tail Clean Fat & Crispy Staple
Whether you’re crafting traditional golden schmaltz, frying up crispy carnivore cracklings, or looking to elevate your everyday cooking with nutrient-dense animal fat, our Bulk Pasture-Raised Chicken Skins deliver unmatched flavor and quality.
Because our chickens spend their lives outdoors moving across fresh pasture, foraging for bugs, seeds, and fresh forage, their fat profile is exceptionally clean, flavorful, and nutrient-dense—a stark contrast to factory-farmed poultry fat.
Each bulk box comes packed with 20 individually vacuum-sealed ~1-lb packs, giving you the flexibility to thaw and render a pound or two at a time while keeping the rest stored in your freezer.
Why You’ll Love Having Bulk Chicken Skins on Hand:
-
Pure Golden Schmaltz (Liquid Gold): Render down the skins to create smooth, golden cooking fat with a high smoke point. It’s the secret weapon for roasting vegetables, frying eggs, pan-searing meats, or baking savory dishes.
-
Crispy Chicken Chips & Cracklings (Gribenes): After rendering out the liquid fat, crisp the remaining skins in a skillet or oven with a pinch of sea salt for a crunchy, zero-carb, protein-packed snack.
-
Culinary Creativity: Wrap lean cuts like chicken breast, pork loin, or meatloaf in seasoned skin before roasting to lock in moisture and produce an irresistible golden crust.
-
Respecting the Whole Animal: Bulk purchasing skin helps us honor the whole bird in our zero-waste, regenerative farming model.
Quick Guide: How to Render Schmaltz & Cracklings at Home
-
Chop: Roughly dice thawed chicken skins into 1-inch pieces.
-
Simmer: Add skins to a wide skillet or Dutch oven with ~½ cup of water over medium-low heat. (The water gently starts the cooking process without scorching the fat).
-
Render: Allow the water to evaporate as the fat slowly renders out (about 25–35 minutes), stirring occasionally.
-
Strain & Crisp: Once the fat is clear and bubbly and the skin pieces are golden and crispy, pour the fat through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean glass jar.
-
Enjoy: Salt the crispy cracklings while warm for a delicious snack, and store your jar of golden schmaltz in the refrigerator for months of daily cooking!
