This recipe recreates the flavour of the popular fast-food gravy at home. It uses a base of butter and flour cooked into a roux, combined with finely chopped onion, water, and both beef and chicken bouillon for a deep, savoury taste. The process involves patiently cooking the roux until golden before whisking in the liquids and simmering to the perfect consistency. You'll have a rich, peppery gravy ideal for serving with mashed potatoes, chicken, or biscuits.

KFC Copycat Gravy

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 5 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 2.5 cups water
  • 2 teaspoons beef bouillon
  • 2 teaspoons chicken bouillon
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste

Method

  1. Place 1 1/2 tablespoons of butter into a skillet and melt it. Stir in the chopped onion and cook for about 5 minutes until it becomes translucent.
  2. Introduce the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet and allow it to melt. Whisk the flour into the butter to create a thick, smooth paste.
  3. Keep cooking this mixture, whisking it continuously, for about 20 minutes until the flour turns a golden colour and develops a toasted aroma.
  4. Pour in the water and add both the beef and chicken bouillon, whisking thoroughly to eliminate any lumps. Mix in the pepper and bring the liquid to a boil.
  5. Simmer the gravy, stirring frequently, for 8 to 10 minutes until it thickens to your desired consistency.
