KFC Style Gravy Recipe


  • Author: Imili Johnson
  • Total Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

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:

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.
