How to Make Giblet Gravy For 12

  1. While your chicken roasts, prepare the giblet stock: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the cleaned and chopped chicken giblets (see ingredients), 4 cups of water, 1 small onion, quartered, 1 carrot, chopped, and 1 celery stalk, chopped.
  2. Simmer gently for 1.5 hours, or until giblets are very tender.
  3. Carefully strain the giblet stock through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, reserving the broth and discarding the vegetables and giblets.
  4. Remove and finely chop the chicken neck meat, setting aside.
  5. Trim any gristle from the giblets and chop finely. Chop the heart into small pieces. Set aside.
  6. Return the giblet stock to the saucepan. Add 1 medium onion, finely chopped.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  8. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of cold water to create a smooth slurry. Set aside.
  9. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the roasting pan and let it rest under loose foil for 20 minutes.
  10. While the chicken rests, pour the pan drippings into a fat separator. Pour the degreased drippings back into the roasting pan.
  11. Add the reserved giblet stock, chopped onions, and 1/2 teaspoon onion powder to the roasting pan.
  12. Place the pan on a burner over medium heat and stir vigorously to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom.
  13. Once heated through and simmering, increase the heat slightly.
  14. Gradually whisk in the flour slurry, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
  15. Cook for about 10 minutes, or until the gravy has thickened to your desired consistency.
  16. Stir in the reserved chopped chicken neck meat and giblets.
  17. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  18. Heat through and serve immediately over sliced roast chicken and mashed potatoes.
