If I can use bacon drippings to fry things with, could not brisket drippings be likewise employed? I'm imagining a whole 'nother world of wonderfulness here.

I'm just wondering if the beef tallow would support the same frying temps without burning - badly.

My only similar experience involved a Christmastime Yorkshire Pudding with drippings from a prime rib. When the collected grease hit the thermonuclear-hot cast iron skillet, it erupted into enormous flames. My sister (the pan-holder) ran (screaming hysterically) to the door and tossed the pan out into the snowy yard, where black smoke billowed skyward like Jet-A at a crash scene. Oh the memories...

So, yeah - do you think I could fry chicken in brisket drippings?
