What Makes This Recipe So Good

• This chicken gravy recipe is absolutely delicious on mashed potatoes, chicken, or even with your holiday turkey.

Chef’s Tips

• If you’re using drippings, leave out the butter and use the drippings instead.
• After you reduce the heat to a low boil, make sure you whisk regularly while the gravy is thickening, otherwise the bottom can burn.
• This gravy is best fresh, but you can store it in an airtight container in the fridge for a couple of days, or in the freezer for about 3-4 months.
• For gluten free gravy, sub out the flour with gluten free all-purpose or cassava flour.
