Ingredients
4 servings
- •0.25 cup drippings from a roast chicken
- •2.5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- •2 cups cold chicken stock, or more if needed
- •salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Pour fat from drippings into a bowl and reserve. Whisk flour into remaining drippings left in pan; mixture will seem dry. Add 2 tablespoons reserved fat, or as needed, to the drippings mixture to combine with flour.
- Place the pan with drippings mixture over low heat and toast flour until light brown and mixture gives off a nutty fragrance, about 5 minutes.
- Drizzle about 1/3 cup cold chicken stock at a time into pan drippings, whisking each addition of stock into mixture until thoroughly combined. Continue whisking, scraping any browned pan drippings from the bottom of the pan into gravy; bring to a simmer. Continue to cook, whisking constantly, until gravy is thick and flour has combined with the liquid, 8 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. For the smoothest texture, strain gravy before serving.
