Description
A rich and savory gravy made from rotisserie chicken drippings, perfect for pairing with mashed potatoes or biscuits.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 whole rotisserie chicken
- 3 cups water (adjust for desired thickness)
- 3 tsp chicken bouillon
- 3 tbsp butter
- 3 tbsp flour
- 1/4 onion (chopped)
- 1 rib celery (chopped)
- 1 baby carrot (chopped)
- Herbs of choice (rosemary and thyme work beautifully)
Instructions
- Start by scraping any drippings from the rotisserie chicken into a small pot.
- Carefully remove the chicken meat from the bones and set the bones aside.
- Add water into the pot with the drippings, ensuring to include several bones.
- Bring the pot to a boil and let it simmer for at least 30 minutes.
- If desired, enhance the stock with extras like a wedge of onion, a rib of celery, and a chopped carrot.
- Remove the bones and strain your stock to get a smooth gravy base.
- In a separate bowl, microwave the butter and flour for about 30 seconds.
- Stir and then microwave again for an additional 15-30 seconds until it bubbles.
- Pour the flour and butter mixture into the chicken stock for thickening.
- Stir in the chicken bouillon, and bring the mixture back to a boil while stirring.
- Remove from heat and shred the reserved chicken meat into the gravy.
- Serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, biscuits, or egg noodles.
