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:

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.
