Homemade Chicken Gravy
½ c Roasted chicken drippings
2 tbsp flour
½ c warm water
While you’re resting the chicken, take the drippings from the bird and make a nice homemade gravy. Now the trick to gravy without lumps is premixing the flour in warm water and whisking the mixture before adding to the drippings.
Take ½ cup of the chicken drippings from the roasting pan and place it in a small pot. Turn the burner on low. While the drippings are warming up, take a measuring cup and fill it with ½ cup of lukewarm tap water. Add two tablespoons of flour to this mixture and whisk right in the measuring cup ensuring all the flour is fully incorporated in the water. It should look like milk.
Next add to the drippings slowly whisking the drippings as you pour the flour/water mixture in. As the gravy starts to thicken, make sure your heat is not too high. Gravy should not boil, it should be just simmering. Once properly thickened serve with your rested bird and enjoy.
