I cook by instinct, and this gravy is good. After roasting your chicken, remove it to a platter and follow these directions.

I thought the flavor was good but the amt of flour was too much. I'd probably cut it down to 1/4 cup or so. It was too thick. Read More

Looks like great minds DO think alike! This is exactly how I make my gravy! The best part is that it works with any baked/roasted meat/poultry. As long as you can catch the drippings, you can make an awesome gravy. Read More

This is EXCELLENT gravy and the more seasoning that you had on your chicken the better the gravy is. I had roasted my chicken with "Bag 'N Season" and it made the best drippings and gravy. It was so easy I couldn't believe it. Read More

I have made this three times now and we just love it. Depending on the seasoning of my chicken I may or may not add a little organic boullion to the mix to spice it up a bit. I only use 1/3 of the cup of flour as the 1/2 cup seems to floury to us. Thanks!!! I had never made gravy before and this made it easy:) Read More
