KFC-Style Gravy Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter

• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

• 2 cups chicken broth (preferably low sodium)

• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground is best)

• Salt to taste

• Optional: A splash of heavy cream for extra richness

Instructions:

1. Make the roux:
   In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour. Keep whisking and cooking for about 3-4 minutes until the mixture turns golden brown and smells nutty. This is your roux and gives the gravy its depth.

2. Add broth slowly:
   Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, a little at a time, to avoid lumps. Keep whisking until smooth.

3. Season:
   Add onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt to taste. Stir well.

4. Simmer:
   Let the gravy simmer gently for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens.

5. Optional cream:
   For a richer, creamier gravy, add a splash of heavy cream at the end and stir.

6. Serve warm:
   Pour over mashed potatoes or your favorite fried chicken!
