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?

I don't think it would work out.

I would say no. Beef fat renders much different than pork fat. Just look at how much fat renders off a pork butt vs. a brisket on a long cook. With an un trimmed pork butt most all of the fat will melt away and with a brisket very little will. I suspect that is why lard is not made from beef fat.

I tried going vegan, but then realized it was a big missed steak.

FC, I'm going to say no as frying is concerned but the drippings would be wonderful in a bowl of soup depending on the amount collected.
JMHO.

What 284 said. Fine for soup, but how the fat renders flavor vote goes to the piggee.
