Guest guest Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 Coleen - I just saw on Wheatfree America.com a recipe for making southern style gravy - as in Biscuits and Gravy! Is that what you are talking about for Chicken Gravy? Faye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 This is how I often make a reduction sauce. Remove the chicken from the skillet, adjust the pan drippings to your liking and saute a minced shallot or two until carmelized. Add some sweet hungarian paprika to the shallots for seasoning; adding it here will bring out more flavor as opposed to adding later to the liquid ingredients. (You can also saute mushrooms here if you like) Turn down the heat and add some fresh crushed garlic, stirring until fragrant for about 30 seconds. Then turn up the heat to high and quickly add 1/2 to 1 cup dry white wine, stirring up all the browned bits from the bottom of the pan and reduce to one half. Add a few cups of chicken broth (or more depending on the size of your entree... for a whole chicken, I like at least a couple cups of gravy or sauce). Reduce, again, to one half and then season with kosher salt and pepper after tasting. Right before you're ready to serve, swirl in some sweet butter if the sauce hasn't thickened a little and add a tablespoon or two of finely chopped, fresh Italian (flat leaf) parsley. This is not a thick gravy but, rather, a rich sauce. You can follow the same procedure but instead add some corn starch (maybe about one heaping tsp per each 2-3 cups of broth + wine) or arrow root to make a thicker gravy instead. I usually whisk the cornstarch into maybe 1/2 cup of broth and let it sit for a bit and then whisk it again before whisking it into the pan. For sauteed veal, pork and poultry, I almost always use reduction sauces. But for fried chicken, which we don't eat much anymore, I tend to make gravy instead.
