Chicken Gravy Recipe in 10 Minutes with Silky Texture

Instructions:

1. Melt the butter. Place 4 tbsp unsalted butter in a medium heavy bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Watch it closely until it melts and begins to foam. Note: The foam means the water in the butter is evaporating, leaving the flavorful fat behind.
2. Form the roux. Whisk in 1/4 cup all purpose flour until a smooth, thick paste forms.
3. Toast the flour. Cook the mixture for 2 minutes, whisking frequently. It should start to smell like baked pie crust and turn a pale golden color. Look for small bubbles across the entire surface.
4. Add stock slowly. Stream in 2 cups of chicken stock very slowly, adding about 1/4 cup at a time.
5. Whisk vigorously. After each addition of stock, whisk hard until the mixture is completely smooth before adding more. You will see it thicken into a paste then loosen into a sauce.
6. Add seasonings. Once all the stock is in, whisk in 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, and 1 tsp soy sauce.
7. Simmer to thicken. Bring the gravy to a gentle simmer. Do not let it boil violently, as this can break the emulsion.
8. Final thickening. Continue to simmer for 3-4 minutes, whisking occasionally. The gravy is ready when it coats the back of a spoon and leaves a clear path when you run your finger through it.
9. Season and serve. Taste the sauce, then add 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Adjust if needed and serve immediately while hot and velvety.
