    Can substitute unsalted butter for chicken fat and seltzer for club soda. See recipe for chicken broth, the long way p. 51.

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Chicken schmaltz is a must. Didn't have it for this time but will go out of my way to procure it for the next time.

    IMO Schmaltz is not optional. Delicious recipe.

    This was good, although I used butter instead of chicken fat and wish that I had the chicken fat to use instead!
