How to Make Chicken Gravy – a simple, step-by-step tutorial that teaches you how to successfully make chicken gravy!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2–3/4 cup drippings
- 1 cup chicken broth
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Take drippings and let sit long enough for the fat to rise to the top (this should only take about 5-10 minutes). Then use a spoon and scoop out the fat and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan or deep cast iron skillet add butter and bring pan to medium/medium-high heat.
- Let butter melt and then add flour. Use a whisk to combine.
- Slowly add drippings in, a little as a time, continually whisking as you do.
- Once you have added in all of the drippings, add in the broth, continuing to whisk the whole time.
- Ensure you heat is still on medium/medium-high.
- Continue whisking, if it isn’t thickening simply turn up the heat. You don’t want it to boil, but it should still be quite hot.
- As it thickens taste and adjust any salt and pepper, as desired.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately.
Notes
- Drippings: You get drippings from cooking a chicken (See: The BEST Whole Roasted Chicken) – this is the leftover liquid in the bottom the pan
- Gluten-Free: To make gluten-free substitute 1-to-1 gluten-free flour for the all-purpose flour.
- Dairy-Free: To make gluten-free substitute vegan butter for regular butter.
