Bojangles Gravy Recipe

Make Bojangles' famous gravy by melting butter in a saucepan, then whisk in flour until combined.
Add milk gradually, stirring constantly for a smooth texture.
Season it with black pepper, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and cayenne for that authentic flavor.
A handy tip is to add more milk a tablespoon at a time if the gravy thickens too much.
