Better to use chicken fat on matzo. <g>

It sounds like making lard isn't much different from rendering chicken
fat, except that I like to flavor my chicken fat by adding diced onion
near the end of the rendering process. The cracklings a/k/a gribbiness
and fried onions sprinkled with salt and pepper are my reward for
rendering the chicken fat.
