  • Is gravy a mystery? Well, I'm going to show you how you can make your own

  • chicken gravy. You know what? You don't need to buy this in a jar or in a

  • can. You can make this at home and in your own kitchen. So what do you

  • need? Well, you need to have baked a chicken and you can check out my other

  • recipe or YouTube video for how to bake a chicken.

  • So now I have a pan with pan drippings. Now these are the beginning of

  • great gravy, now you need about equal amounts of fat to starch. Now I have

  • about three tablespoons of pan drippings in here. To this I'm going to add

  • about three tablespoons of flour, and then I'm just going to stir these

  • together and make a wonderful, thick paste.

  • So if you've ever made like a white sauce, or a béchamel sauce, or

  • something like that, this is the same beginning. So I've got my flour in

  • here and I'm just going to stir it in. You don't have to use any special

  • techniques, just go ahead, and combine them and make a nice, thick, even

  • paste, and this will come together like this. If you have a little bit more

  • fat in, you can add a little bit more flour, but just let it come together

  • like this. It's really easy to do.

  • So now I'm going to switch over to a whisk, because nothing really stirs

  • like a whisk. And I'm going to add in about 1/3 of a can of chicken broth.

  • Now some people use milk, some people use water. I really think that if

  • you're making chicken, you want to go ahead, and add in more chicken broth,

  • because it really does help enhance the flavor.

  • So I've added my chicken broth in and you can see this has come together.

  • and become nice and thick. Now I have my pan on about a medium-high heat,

  • so now it's time to add another 1/3 of the liquid, and that's all I'm going

  • to do here, is add another 1/3 of the liquid. And as soon as it gets thick,

  • well guess what I'm going to do? I'm going to add in the remaining liquid.

  • Now you can see that is so easy to make your own home-made chicken gravy.

  • Now this is perfectly seasoned right now. If you like, you may need to add

  • in a little bit more salt or something, or a little fresh cracked pepper,

  • but that's it. You can make your own chicken gravy at home. Hey, you
