How to Make KFC Gravy
Kentucky Fried Chicken (or KFC, as it's more popularly known) is a famous American fast-food chain with tens of thousands of outlets all over the world. The restaurant is most well known for its fried chicken, but they make a popular gravy that accompanies many of their meals. I re-created their gravy at home in order to enjoy it with my home-cooked meals. I thought it turned out really well, and it took only 10 minutes to prepare.

AUTHORHi Zulma,
I am glad that you and your family like the gravy. I do the same too. I keep leftover for future use. I just reheat it and all good again. I hope you try my other recipes as well and let me know what you think. Thank you so much!
I made this gravy this past weekend and it got a thumbs up from everyone in my family. I made the gravy according to this recipe and ended up with quite a bit leftover. I didn't want to throw it away because it was really good and I hate wasting anything, particularly food. After a bit of thought, I added some fresh herbs and used it as a base for chicken tagliatelle. It was even better than the recipe I normally use.
Thank you for sharing such a versatile gravy recipe.
