This KFC-style gravy is so rich and flavorful, you’ll think you’ve ordered takeout! Perfectly paired with mashed potatoes and fried chicken, this gravy will become your go-to for every comfort meal. Its velvety texture and savory taste make it an irresistible addition to any dish.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  • Make the Roux: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour to create a roux. Cook for 2-3 minutes, whisking constantly, until the mixture turns a light golden brown.
  • Add the Broths: Slowly add the chicken broth and beef broth to the roux, whisking continuously to avoid lumps.
  • Season the Gravy: Add the onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Stir until well combined.
  • Simmer: Bring the gravy to a simmer, whisking occasionally, and cook for 5-7 minutes until thickened to your desired consistency.
  • Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
  • Serve: Serve hot over mashed potatoes, fried chicken, or your favorite comfort foods.

Notes

  • This gravy can be made ahead of time and reheated. Just add a bit more broth if it thickens too much upon cooling.
  • For a richer flavor, you can use homemade chicken and beef broth.
