got a soup related question here
Is it a good idea to save and use the fat left over from making stock?
Made chicken+veggie stock the other day and there is a sizable amount of separated fat. Should i just toss it?
It could be good for frying certain things, like I like to stir fry using duck fat so I can't imagine chicken fat would be much different. You could also mix it with butter and use it to coat a roasting bird.

No, use it. It's called schmaltz. If making soup it's a good idea to sweat your veg in it before adding the veg to the pot. And reserve some fat for when your soup is done. You can add a bit more unctuousness to your soup by adding a tablespoon at a time toward your tastes. An article was just published about this in the NYT.

Seriously, it's a staple in Jewish cooking. Find an old Jewish grandmother and she'll tell you a book of recipes involving chicken fat.
poultry fat is great for cooking potatoes

Dude, it's fat. Use it as you would use butter or pig fat.
