    This is my kind of dish and cooking............

    Gets no better than cooking chicken in bacon drippings........

    Do you render them and drain or just put the chicken straight in after the bacon comes out?

    Is there an ethnic section of your store? Mine has a section for Asian, Mexican, etc. I usually find it there. Goya is a brand that has it sometimes.

    Cool, I have a jar of rendered bacon grease that has been drained and jarred. I use it in everything when I am cooking.
