- In a skillet over medium heat, saute the chicken skin until it releases its fat and the fat begins to turn golden brown, about 20 minutes.
- Remove the chicken skin and pour off half of the rendered fat, or schmaltz.
- Add the onions to the pan with the remaining chicken fat and cook until the onions are translucent, tender, and caramelized, about 10 minutes.
- Season with salt, to taste.
- Remove half of the onions from the pan and set aside.
- Raise the heat to medium-high and add the reserved chicken fat and chicken livers to the remaining onions.
- Saute the livers, turning once, until cooked on the outside but still lightly pink inside, about 5 minutes.
- Roughly chop the chicken livers by hand and season with salt and cracked black pepper.
- Spoon the chopped liver onto matzo and top with minced egg and the reserved schmaltz fried onions.
