KFC Gravy is a magnificent elixir that combines all the flavors and complements anything—from fries and chicken to pasta and mashed potatoes. It is super easy to whip up and calls for simple ingredients that come together into a rich and savory side dish.
Heat a saucepan, add the butter, and let it melt over low heat.
Add flour, garlic, and onion powder so that it is distributed evenly around the pan, stirring continuously. Cook for about 7-8 minutes until the color turns medium brown. Note: be extra cautious since the flour has a tendency of burning when overcooked or when on high heat. Give the pan a shake every couple of minutes so that the gravy covers the entire bottom of the pan.
Add ½ cup broth once the gravy turns to a dark and rich brown color. Turn to medium heat and allow it to simmer until you reach the desired thickness. Stir every 20-30 seconds while your KFC Gravy is simmering. Cook it for about 8 minutes for a thinner gravy, or 12 minutes for a thick gravy.
Stir in a tablespoon of butter at the end to add a shine, and then remove your gravy from the heat. Serve hot.
