Homemade Chicken Gravy

Description

One of my favorite things about making roast chicken is also being able to make a kick-butt gravy. Gravy can be made with chicken stock (or whatever stock you have) but is so much more flavorful when made with pan drippings.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons chicken drippings
  • kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Melt butter over medium heat in a heavy bottom saucepan.
  2. When melted, whisk with flour until a paste forms. Continue to whisk until roux starts to brown and become fragrant.
  3. Slowly add chicken broth and chicken drippings while whisking vigorously. Continue to whisk until fully heated.
  4. Taste test for seasoning. Add Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper sparingly until desired taste is achieved.
  5. If you’ve tried this recipe, come back and let us know how it was!
