Pour the fat from the drippings into a bowl and set it aside. Whisk the flour into the drippings left in the pan; the mixture will look dry. Add 2 tablespoons of the reserved fat, or as needed, to the drippings mixture to blend with the flour.

Set the pan with the drippings mixture over low heat and toast the flour until it is light brown and gives off a nutty smell, about 5 minutes.

Drizzle about 1/3 cup cold chicken stock at a time into the pan drippings, whisking each addition until fully incorporated.

Continue cooking, whisking constantly, until the gravy is thick and the flour has blended with the liquid, 8 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. For the smoothest texture, strain the gravy before serving.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
