Instructions:
- Prepare the Roux:
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Once the butter has melted, add the flour and stir constantly for about 2-3 minutes until the mixture turns a light golden brown. This creates a roux, which serves as the base and thickener for the gravy.
- Add the Broths:
- Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and beef broth to the roux. Stir continuously to ensure a smooth mixture without any lumps.
- Season:
- Add the garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir well to incorporate the seasonings into the gravy.
- Simmer:
- Reduce the heat to low and allow the gravy to simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. As it simmers, the gravy will thicken to your desired consistency.
- Adjust Seasoning:
- Taste the gravy and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. If the gravy becomes too thick, you can thin it out with a little more broth.
- Serve:
- Once the gravy is smooth and rich, remove it from the heat. Serve it hot over mashed potatoes, fried chicken, or biscuits to enjoy that authentic KFC experience.
