How to Make Cream Gravy For Fried Chicken

  1. After cooking your fried chicken, remove it from the skillet and set aside. Pour off all but 1/4 cup of the chicken drippings from the skillet.
  2. Sprinkle 1/4 cup all-purpose flour into the skillet and whisk constantly over medium heat for about 2 minutes, until the flour is lightly golden brown and fragrant.
  3. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of chicken broth, ensuring no lumps form. Continue whisking until smooth.
  4. Stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream and 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper.
  5. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the gravy has thickened to your desired consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. Season generously with salt to taste. Serve immediately over your fried chicken, alongside mashed potatoes, green peas, and warm biscuits.
