Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
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.
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.
Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Continue whisking to combine all ingredients.
Bring the gravy to a gentle simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper as per your preference.
Remove from heat and optionally garnish with fresh parsley before serving warm.
