Chicken fat and chicken demi-glace come from the same bird, but they do completely different things in your kitchen. The fat is your cooking medium. Melt it in a warm pan and saute onions, vegetables, or rice until everything turns golden and savory. It is 100% rendered chicken fat from pasture-raised chickens on New York farms, with nothing added. Not schmaltz (no onions, no seasoning). Just clean, golden fat that carries flavor into every bite. The demi-glace is your finishing move. A slow-simmered reduction made from pasture-raised chicken bones, concentrated to a collagen-rich gloss. Whisk a spoonful into pan drippings after searing and you get a silky, savory sauce in under two minutes. Add it to risotto for body. Stir it into soup for depth that tastes like it simmered all day. Together, they cover a full chicken dinner. Fat in the pan, sauce on the plate. Start your rice in chicken fat, build a quick pan sauce with chicken demi-glace, and dinner goes from good to "what did you do differently?" That is The Full Bird. We lead with flavor and let our sourcing practices serve as the proof. By putting every part of the animal to work, we support a food system that actually works for our farm partners while giving you a new secret weapon for your kitchen. Storage: Demi-glace: shelf-stable, refrigerate after opening, use within 2 weeks. Chicken fat: shelf-stable for 2 years unopened, refrigerate after opening, use within 6 months. No preservatives in either jar.

What is demi-glace?

Demi-glace is a slow-roasted, gently reduced sauce made over many (many!) hours. If you'd like to try making your own, check out our recipe, here!

For our Curious Cooks that don't have the time, we make our demi-glaces using bones, vegetables, and some of the most flavorful offcuts on the farm (read: chicken feet, carrot tops, and more). We believe every home cook can taste the benefits of being a little more adventurous with these overlooked ingredients - all while reducing food waste and getting top-quality, regenerative food.

How should I use my demi-glace?

Think of our demi-glace as three things:

  • A stand-alone sauce for dipping or drizzling
  • A flavor enhancer for classic meat recipes
  • An extra layer of umami for roasted vegetables, meatless dishes, and more

For example, our Roasted Chicken demi-glace can add hours of flavor to a simple soup. Our Grass Fed Beef demi-glace can add both complexity and a richness to roasted carrots, seared asparagus, or baked squash. But these are just our suggestions... there's no "wrong" way to use our demis!

What is an offcut?

Offcuts are the overlooked remnants of sustainable farming; nutrient-rich bits like bones, organs, skins, and fats that most brands discard. By repurposing these underutilized ingredients (offcuts like offal, organs, and bones), Offcuts Kitchen crafts premium pantry staples: think broths, demi-glace, and sprayable fats, that deliver chef-level flavor and champion regenerative farming practices.
