Ingredients

• 2 cups chicken drippings
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Collect 2 cups of chicken drippings from a roasted chicken. If you do not have enough drippings, supplement with chicken broth to make up the difference.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat.

Step 3

Once the butter is melted and begins to bubble, whisk in 4 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, forming a roux. Continue to whisk the mixture for about 1 to 2 minutes, until it turns a light golden color.

Step 4

Gradually pour in 2 cups of chicken drippings and 1 cup of chicken broth into the roux, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.

Step 5

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Season with 0.5 teaspoon of salt, 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper, 0.5 teaspoon of onion powder, and 0.25 teaspoon of garlic powder.

Step 7

If desired, add 1 tablespoon of freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and additional flavor.

Step 8

Continue to simmer the gravy until it thickens to your desired consistency, stirring occasionally.

Step 9

Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary before serving.

Step 10

Serve the chicken gravy hot, drizzled over your favorite dishes like mashed potatoes or roasted chicken.
