Recipe For Chicken Gravy With Bouillon
You can make homemade Chicken Gravy with or without chicken drippings, and it tastes so much better than the packaged stuff! Plus tips for making gravy with or without flour.
Oh gravy, how I love you. You make everything better, especially a plateful of Perfect Mashed Potatoes or even on top of Flaky Buttermilk Biscuits!
I grew up in a household where most things where made from scratch, especially things like gravy! My mom would never buy the stuff that comes in the packet, and there’s a huge flavor difference, plus, making it from scratch only takes a few minutes, and most people usually already have the ingredients they need to make homemade chicken gravy!
Brown Gravy Recipe
If you have roasted a chicken for dinner, be sure to save the liquid drippings at the bottom of the pan to add flavor to your gravy. Otherwise, you can make chicken gravy without them.
The most flavorful and delicious gravy recipes use drippings! Drippings are what’s left in the roasting pan after cooking the turkey. This includes fat that has melted and any bits of meat that have fallen off. This extra liquid will be poured away from the chicken into a separate bowl and used to make the chicken gravy.
Yes! This chicken gravy can be made with or without drippings from a roasted chicken. To make it without drippings, you will add a little more chicken broth and some chicken bouillon paste for extra flavoring.
How To Make Gravy Without Drippings
(Optional) Add drippings from Roasted Chicken to a measuring cup. When you have taken your chicken out of the oven, pour the liquid and drippings from the pan into a liquid measuring cup or a bowl. (Tip the pan away from your body and be careful not to burn yourself)! Let the drippings sit for a minute, allowing the fat to naturally separate from the rest of the drippings.
You will notice that the fat will rise to the top, leaving the drippings on the bottom. Use a large spoon or ladle to skim (remove) most of the fat from the top of the drippings.
Make the roux: Heat a saucepan over medium heat. Add ½ cup of drippings (or chicken broth) to the pan. Add ¼ cup flour and whisk together until it makes a smooth paste (add more flour if it seems a little greasy). Cook, whisking, until the mixture begins to change to a light golden color.

Add broth and more drippings: Whisk in 2 cups of chicken broth and an additional ¼ cup of drippings (or teaspoon of chicken bouillon paste).
Thicken: Allow the gravy to cook, whisking constantly for about 5 to 8 minutes, or until thickened. If the gravy is too thick, add more broth or drippings liquid. If the gravy is too thin after cooking for 10 minutes, add a cornstarch slurry (mix 1 teaspoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water and then add it to the gravy).
Once you are happy with the consistency of your gravy, taste it. Add more pepper (and salt if needed), and some chicken bullion taste if you want to further boost the flavor.
Need Gravy In A Snap
For a smooth, creamy, and rich gravy, a roux (made with flour) is the most effective. However, it’s certainly possible to thicken gravy without flour. Flourless gravy will be made similarly, but without making a roux.
Instead, add a cornstarch slurry (you’ll need 1 tablespoon water + 1 teaspoon cornstarch for every cup of gravy base in the pan), to thicken the gravy.
You can also freeze it for up to four months. Check out this Roasted Chicken for more info on storing and freezing homemade gravy.

Easy Homemade Chicken Gravy
One of my favorite things to eat is Biscuits and Gravy (One Pot). I just love gravy! It’s the best way to enhance any roasted, baked, or air fried chicken you make. It brings moisture and creaminess to meals that can sometimes taste or feel dry. Be sure to also try my Easy Sausage Gravy (One Pot) and this Homemade Brown Gravy Recipe (One Pot) and Easy White Gravy (One Pot). They are all delicious ways to complete a meal.
Serve it over chicken such as rotisserie, baked, air fried or Grilled Chicken Breast (One Pan). You can also serve it over beef such as these Garlic Butter Steak Bites (One Pot) or fried steak. Try it over sausages such as these Oven Roasted Sausage and Vegetables (One Pan).
It’s also delicious over vegetables. Try these Creamy Mashed Potatoes Recipe (One Pot), or Oven Roasted Potatoes (One Pan) and even Oven Roasted Vegetables (One Pan).

If you have any rice or pasta meals that are too dry, mix in a bit of this gravy for added flavor and moisture. Try it in this Easy Rice Pilaf (One Pot).
You can add the best flavor by mixing in drippings from your cooked chicken. Consider adding bouillon cubes. You can also try using browned butter for a nutty flavor addition. Another option is to add more herbs and spices or even store-bought spice blends. Herbs can be fresh or dried.
Reheat- In the microwave or stovetop. You will need to mix in a little broth or water, since the gravy thickens as it cools.
The Best Vegan Gravy
Chicken broth vs. Chicken stock– Stock is usually made from simmering the bones in liquid and therefore can have a more gelatinous texture from the collagen in the bones. This adds flavor and health benefits. Broth is usually made from the meat simmering in the liquid. Either option is perfectly fine to use for this gravy recipe.
What kind of flour to use? I like to use all-Purpose flour for this recipe. You can use whole wheat flour if needed, but it will have a brown tint and a slightly different flavor.
How to thicken gravy? Cook it longer to evaporate excess liquid and reduce it until it’s thickened to your desired consistency. I do not recommending adding more flour or cornstarch because that will change the flavor.

Great question! 🙂 Stock cubes and powder have a more intense flavour than liquid stock (broth), so they make a tastier gravy when you make gravy from scratch like in this recipe.
Liquid broth is more appropriate to use when you’re making gravy starting with pan drippings fromroasts – because the pan drippings add extra flavour into the gravy.
PS The reason this is faster than most gravy recipes is because the water is already HOT and the flavour is already concentrated so there’s no need to cook down for flavour.

Oh, and here’s the photo that started it all – Fried Chicken. Upon spying this, there were many (many) (MANY!) requests for the potato and gravy recipe.
Recipe video above. This recipe is how I make a seriously tasty gravy using water in 4 minutes flat. The secret is to use both chicken AND beef stock cubes. Beef adds colour and flavour oomph, whereas chicken is the base flavour. Use crumbled cubes if you can as some brands of beef powder won't give the same nice brown colour (ends up pale).
