KFC-style gravy that you can make at home. It’s perfect for pairing with mashed potatoes, biscuits, or fried chicken!
Ingredients:
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth (or use drippings from cooked chicken)
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions:
Make a Roux:
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Once melted, add the flour to the melted butter and whisk continuously for about 2-3 minutes until the mixture turns a light golden color (this is called a roux).
Add Broth:
Gradually pour in the chicken broth while whisking to prevent lumps. Keep whisking until the mixture is smooth.
Season:
Add the onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Bring the gravy to a simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Adjust Flavor:
Taste the gravy and adjust the seasoning as needed. If you prefer a richer flavor, you can add a little more salt or pepper.
Serve:
Serve hot over your favorite comfort foods like mashed potatoes, biscuits, or fried chicken.
Tips:
If you have drippings from roasted chicken, you can substitute part of the broth with the drippings for added flavor.
For a smoother gravy, you can strain the gravy through a fine mesh sieve after cooking.
Enjoy your homemade KFC-style gravy! It’s a delicious addition to any meal.
