How to make chicken gravy is a question you may have asked yourself. Making homemade gravy isn’t difficult to do. It is actually fairly easy. Whenever I bake up a chicken, I am always thinking of mashed potatoes and some homemade chicken gravy. I have such fond memories of Sunday dinner at my grandmother’s house; chicken gravy was definitely a part of that picture.
How to Make Chicken Gravy
There are actually several methods of making a gravy. I am going to show you what I think is one of the easiest ones to make, and one that practically seasons itself. This style of chicken gravy is the one to make after you bake a chicken. Since you baked your chicken you have already seasoned the bird perfectly. After the chicken is cooked remove it from the pan, and you have flavorful pan drippings that are just crying out to be made into gravy. When it comes to which liquid to use in your gravy you can use chicken broth like I do in this recipe, or you may even want to use a couple of cups of milk instead.
Chicken Gravy
Chicken gravy is easy to make once you know how. Use this recipe to help you make gravy for the first time.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons pan drippings from a baked chicken
- 3 tablespoons of flour
- 16 ounces of chicken broth
Instructions
Heat pan drippings in a skillet over a medium high heat. Add three tablespoons of flour to the pan drippings and whisk together with a whisk. Cook this "roux" for a minute or two. By cooking this "roux" you will remove any raw taste of the flour, and this is a critical step, so make sure you have cooked this for a full minute before adding the liquid. Add one-third of the liquid, and whisk together, this mixture will turn very thick after a moment or two. Add the next third of the liquid, and stir making sure all lumps are removed, once this mixture has thickened fully you can add in the remaining liquid. If your gravy is too thick to your personal liking you could add some additional liquid, or even finish with a tablespoon or two of heavy cream if you desire.
