Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Cooked chicken drippings (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Step 2
Once melted, add the all-purpose flour and whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes to form a roux. This helps eliminate the raw flour taste.
Step 3
Gradually pour in the chicken broth while whisking to prevent lumps. If using cooked chicken drippings, stir them in at this stage to enhance the flavor.
Step 4
Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Continue whisking to combine all ingredients.
Step 5
Bring the gravy to a gentle simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Step 6
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper as per your preference.
Step 7
Remove from heat and optionally garnish with fresh parsley before serving warm.
