- 1
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, warm 3 tablespoons chicken pan drippings or melt butter. When the fat shimmers, whisk in 3 tablespoons flour and cook 1–2 minutes, stirring, until it smells toasty and looks blonde.

Slowly pour in 2 cups warm chicken broth while whisking so no lumps form. Add ¼ teaspoon garlic powder and ¼ teaspoon onion powder, then keep whisking as the mixture returns to a simmer.

Simmer gently 5–8 minutes, whisking often, until the gravy coats the back of a spoon and leaves a clean line when you swipe a finger through it. Season with salt and black pepper after tasting.

Stir in a splash of cream or milk if you want a softer, richer finish. Serve hot over chicken, mashed potatoes, or biscuits.
