Chicken Gravy Recipe

Here is a recipe for making the perfect chicken gravy each and every time.

This versatile recipe makes delicious chicken pan gravy any time you need it, and doesn’t even depend on you having roasted a chicken.

Chicken Gravy Recipe

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup fat (see Notes below)
• 1/4 cup flour
• 2 cups pan juices and chicken stock
• cooked, chopped chicken giblets (optional)
• salt and pepper for seasoning
• 1/4 cup cream (optional)

Method

Tips:

• When you are done roasting the chicken, strain the juices left in the pan. Pour off the fat and use that as the 1/4 cup fat asked for in the recipe. If you haven’t roasted a chicken, simply use a bit of lard or shortening.
• The chicken giblets are optional but do add a lot of flavor. You can add them to the roasting pan and cook them alongside the chicken. If you don’t like giblets, or are not roasting a chicken, don’t worry about it. The gravy will still taste delicious.
• The cream is also optional. It wasn’t part of the gravy my mother used to make, but try adding it for extra richness and flavor.

It is obviously great over roasted chicken, but also try serving it ladled over fried chicken or french fries.

An absolute treat!
