Homemade Chicken Gravy

This rich and velvety chicken gravy is a comforting classic that elevates any chicken dish. Crafted from the flavorful drippings of roasted or fried chicken, this gravy is the perfect companion for mashed potatoes, biscuits, or even a hearty casserole. With a hint of garlic and onion, it brings warmth and depth to your table, making every bite feel like a warm hug. A staple in many households, chicken gravy has roots in traditional cooking, often passed down through generations to accompany Sunday dinners and holiday feasts.

Serves 4

Ingredients

Chicken drippings
1/4 cup (from roasted or fried chicken)
All-purpose flour
1/4 cup
Chicken broth
2 cups
Garlic powder
1 teaspoon
Onion powder
1 teaspoon
Salt
to taste
Black pepper
to taste

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, heat the chicken drippings over medium heat until melted, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Whisk in the all-purpose flour, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is golden brown and smooth, forming a roux.
  3. Gradually pour in the chicken broth while whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
  4. Add the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper, stirring well to combine all the ingredients.
  5. Bring the gravy to a gentle simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened to your desired consistency.
  6. Taste the gravy and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  7. Serve the chicken gravy hot over your favorite roasted or fried chicken, mashed potatoes, or biscuits.

Tips

  • 💡 For a richer flavor, use low-sodium chicken broth to control the saltiness.
  • 💡 You can add a splash of heavy cream or a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce for extra depth.
  • 💡 If you prefer a smoother gravy, strain the gravy through a fine-mesh sieve before serving.
