Instructions
Make the Roux:
Step 1: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk continuously to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the mixture turns light golden brown.
Add the Broth:
Step 2: Gradually whisk in both chicken and beef broth to avoid lumps. Stir in the onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper.
Simmer the Gravy:
Step 3: Bring the mixture to a simmer, whisking occasionally. Let it thicken for 5-7 minutes. For a thinner consistency, simmer for a shorter time or add more broth.
Adjust Seasoning:
Step 4: Taste the gravy and adjust the salt and pepper according to your preference.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve the gravy hot, ideally over creamy mashed potatoes or alongside your favorite fried chicken recipe to mimic the classic KFC meal at home.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, you can use homemade broths or enhance store-bought broths with additional herbs and seasonings.
- If lumps form, strain the gravy through a fine mesh sieve to achieve a smooth texture.
