Copycat KFC Gravy

Here I present my Copycat KFC Gravy, read on to learn how to make it yourself 🙂

I firmly believe you’ll be hard-pressed to find anyone who doesn’t enjoy fries and gravy.  Here I upped the ante by making potato wedges.  Crunchy on the outside, creamy-dreamy potatoey in the middle, potato wedges.

Back in the Day:

I just had a flashback of my high school cafeteria lunch lineup.  All the kids crammed, jammed even – hungry!  Hangry! Waiting oh so impatiently for lunch.  The burgers were disgusting… the fries though… with gravy… yum!

Zero nutritional value, lol.

Oh the gravy though.

I do love fries and gravy though to this day… 29 years later!  OMG I’m so middle-aged.  I really should start to dress/act my age 🤔

Why KFC Gravy?

It’s distinct and delicious.

The Motivation:

I saw a few recipes on Pinterest for this gravy only I found them waaaay too salty.  I added more water and omitted any additional salt because bouillon cubes are super high in sodium.  If you want the extra-thick KFC gravy then go with 5 tbsp each butter and flour… the recipe that follows is much more to my Personal taste…. and its really freaking good 🙂

This is how you make it:

Combine the boiling water with the two bouillon cubes, onion powder and pepper.

Set aside.

Place a frying pan over medium heat and add in the butter and flour.

When the butter is melted, mix well (use a whisk).  

You are making a roux here and as such are looking for a wet sand look.

Keep stirring the mixture for about one minute, this will get rid of the raw flour taste.

Slowly whisk in half the soup mix, stirring constantly.  

Whisk in the remaining soup.

Add in a few drops of gravy browner.

Mix well.

As always, taste and adjust seasoning.
