Chicken gravy
Simple gravy for roast chicken.
What you need
- 45-60 ml juices from the roast chicken, strained of fat
- 45-60 ml plain flour
- 600 ml good quality chicken stock
- seasoning
Method
After removing the cooked chicken, tilt the roasting tin and spoon off the fat, leaving about 30 ml of fat.
Place tin on the hob on a medium heat. Add flour and whisk rapidly until thoroughly mixed and flour is cooked to lose its floury taste. Scrape the sides of the tin to ensure all juices are combined into a brown paste.
Add stock a little at a time, stirring throughout. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until thickened. Season if necessary.
If the gravy is too thick, add a little more stock or water. Pour into a warm jug and keep warm until ready to serve.
Serving suggestion
Serve with roast chicken and seasonal cooked vegetables.
