Equipment

  • Large saucepan.
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups
  • Wooden spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Chicken Stock
  • 3 tbsp Unsalted Butter
  • 3 tbsp All Purpose Flour
  • 1 tsp Chicken Base or Bouillon
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1/4 tsp Onion Powder

Instructions
 

Melt the Butter

  • Put your saucepan on medium heat first. Place the butter inside the pan. Let it melt until it starts to bubble.

Make the Roux

  • Add the flour to the melted butter now. Stir it fast with your whisk. Cook it for two minutes to remove flour taste.

Add the Stock

  • Pour the chicken stock in very slowly. Keep whisking while you pour the liquid. This stops lumps from forming in the pan.

Season the Gravy

  • Add the chicken base and the spices now. Stir well to mix the flavors. The gravy will start to look very dark.

Thicken the Sauce

  • Let the liquid simmer on the stove. Stir it often so it does not burn. Stop when it coats the back of a spoon.

Notes

➜ Use cold stock to prevent big flour lumps.
➜ Whisk the roux constantly for a smooth base.
➜ Do not boil the gravy too hard today.
➜ Add a splash of milk for extra creaminess.
➜ Taste the sauce before adding any extra salt.
