What it is

Chicken fat is the fat rendered from chickens. It is a byproduct of chicken processing and is often clarified and purified for use in food products. It has a distinct savory flavor and aroma.

Why it's used

Chicken fat is used as a cooking fat and flavor enhancer, adding a rich, savory taste to foods. It is commonly found in soups, sauces, processed meats, and baked goods, where it contributes to texture and mouthfeel.

Health notes

JECFA has evaluated chicken fat and established an acceptable daily intake. While high intake of saturated fat can be associated with increased risk of heart disease, chicken fat is consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
