Ingredients

Chicken drippings
1 to 1-1/2 cups chicken broth
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon rubbed sage
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

Pour drippings and loosened browned bits into a 2-cup measuring cup. Skim fat, reserving 4 tablespoons (if less than 4 tablespoons fat, add enough melted butter to the fat to total 4 tablespoons). Add enough broth to the drippings to measure 2 cups.

In a small saucepan, combine flour and reserved fat until smooth. Gradually stir in the drippings mixture. Stir in the thyme, sage, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes.

Chicken Gravy Tips

What are some variations of this chicken gravy recipe?

If you want a more aromatic gravy, try adding a teaspoon of minced fresh rosemary, tarragon, and oregano. For a creamy Cajun version, try adding a teaspoon of Old Bay seasoning and whisking in a dollop of sour cream once removed from the heat. If you would like to make a reduced sodium version of this gravy, leave the salt out. If you don’t have any drippings on hand, you can just use butter instead. Get more tips on making gravy!
