Crush matzo boards using a rolling pin until you have about 2 cups of matzo meal.

Measure out 1 cup of the crushed matzo meal for the mixture.

In a mixing bowl, combine the matzo meal, 5 large eggs, 1/3 cup of chicken fat, and 1/4 cup of club soda.

Add 1 3/4 teaspoons of kosher salt, 1/4 cup of chopped chives, and 1/4 cup of chopped dill to the mixture.

Mix the ingredients together until combined.

Refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours to firm up.

Prepare the chicken broth in a large pot and bring it to a simmer.

Once the matzo mixture has rested, wet your hands and form the mixture into balls about the size of a tangerine.

Drop the matzo balls into the simmering broth and cook until fluffy, about 20 minutes.

Garnish the soup with additional chopped dill and serve hot.
