"Velvety gravy using roasted chicken drippings, flour, and stock. Chef John's versatile technique suits any roast."
Ingredients:
  • 0.25 cup drippings from a roast chicken
  • 2.5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups cold chicken stock, or more if needed
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions:
  • Transfer the fat from the drippings to a bowl and set aside. Whisk flour into the drippings in the pan; it may seem dry. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the reserved fat, or more if needed, to combine with the flour mixture.
  • Over low heat, toast flour in the pan with drippings until light brown and fragrant, for about 5 minutes.
  • Gradually pour 1/3 cup cold chicken stock at a time into pan drippings, whisking each addition until fully incorporated. Keep whisking, scraping off any browned bits from the pan into the gravy; bring to a simmer. Cook while whisking constantly until the gravy thickens and the flour is well mixed with the liquid, 8 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. For a velvety texture, strain gravy before serving.
