I’ve been making dripping gravy for years, I was taught by my grandma from Louisiana. One ingredient she used to use was a tablespoon of sugar. Made the blah taste awesome.

Just like I remembered as a kid, just a different touch of seasoning. Great. 5 Star..

Chicken was excellent, but I don't think I made the gravy right. I'll be making this again for sure!
