KFC-Style Gravy

This homemade KFC-style gravy is rich, flavorful, and easy to make. Using just broth, butter, and seasonings, you can recreate the velvety gravy from your favorite fried chicken spot. Perfect over mashed potatoes, fried chicken, or biscuits for a comforting meal.

Ingredients
  

  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • Salt

Instructions
 

  • Melt 4 tbsp unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in 1/4 cup flour and stir for 2-3 minutes until it forms a thick paste.
  • Gradually whisk in 2 cups chicken broth and 1 cup beef broth, stirring to avoid lumps. Continue until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Stir in 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and salt to taste. Cook for another 2 minutes to blend the flavors.
  • Let the gravy simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add more broth if it’s too thick.
