We can tell you, but then we'd have to kill you. :eek:

Grebenes is the rendered skin of the chicken, sort of like cracklings.

You cut the skin in smallish pieces, put them in a pot, and, over low heat, render out the fat. The skin will crisp up. Drain it on paper towels, and do not share---it's your reward for doing all that work with the chickens!

BTW, the rendered fat is useful too, for cooking, or just spreading on bread like butter. When make cracklins the rendered fat of a hog is called lard. When you make grebenes, the rendered fat is called schmaltz.

Okay, I feel better now. I was imagining weird chicken genitals or something, hidden away waiting to spring out at me! (I need to stop watching so much Sci-Fi channel.)
