Chicken Fat!

Definately NO CHICKEN FAT!!!!
You can only use beef fat (suet) and it is not rendered fat it is the white fat that is cut off in chunks by the butcher. You have to mince it and remove the membrane that is found throughout the chunk. It is very tedious to do but the outcome is delicious.

Suet is the rendered fat that is gotten from the raw butchered meats when trimmed. Suet is what remains fron cooking the raw fat. The liquid fat that remains is poured into a mold and chilled untis solid. The solid that remains is Suit.

Fat is fat!
