Rich gravy made with roasted chicken drippings, a little flour, and chicken stock. This is your basic pan gravy technique, and it doesn’t matter what the meat is. You can use this method after roasting leg of lamb, roast beef, roast pork loin, or pan-roasted chicken.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup drippings from a roast chicken
- 2 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups cold chicken stock, or more if needed
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Chef’s Note:
If gravy is too thick, whisk in a little more stock. If gravy is too thin, continue to simmer, whisking constantly, until reduced and thickened, about 10 more minutes. For the smoothest texture, strain gravy before serving.
