In Jewish families, bacon wasn't kosher so they would render chicken fat from the chicken skin and store it in jars and cans to use the same way. They would not only cook with it, but I've heard they would spread it on toast or crackers and eat it like butter. Oh, and they would eat the crispy chicken skin they rendered the fat from like it was bacon! This was before my time, but I can imagine their cholesterol levels must have been through the roof!

The processed chicken fat is called schmaltz.
