How to Make Kfc Gravy Copycat

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 4 cups chicken broth, 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Set aside.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. In a medium saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons vegetable shortening over low heat.
  4. Stir in 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and bubbly (about 1-2 minutes). This is your roux.
  5. Gradually whisk the chicken broth mixture into the roux, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
  6. Bring the gravy to a boil over medium heat, whisking constantly.
  7. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the gravy has thickened to your desired consistency, stirring frequently.
  8. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving. Stir occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
  9. Serve immediately over your favorite fried chicken, mashed potatoes, or biscuits. Enjoy!
