Sometimes the pan drippings from a roast bird just aren't suited for gravy making. Your basting sauce may be made with something like honey that burns or the spices on the bird are too much for the gravy. You can easily make a very tasty gravy in a sauce pan, especially if you have giblets to start. Note: vermouth has a distinctive flavor; you may prefer a milder white wine or no wine at all.

How To Make chicken gravy without pan drippings
-
1At least three hours before you intend to serve the gravy, put the broth ingredients in a medium sauce pan. Simmer for approximately two hours. Longer is better.
-
2About 1/2 and hour before you intend to serve the gravy, strain the broth, discarding the solid ingredients. Wipe out the sauce pan.
-
3On medium-low heat, melt the butter in the sauce pan. Add the flour and ground white pepper. Cook the flour and butter about five minutes to form a roux. Stir occasionally. Toasting the flour is good, burning the flour is bad.
-
4Stir the demi-glace paste and the vermouth into the boiling water and stir until the paste is melted.
-
5Pour the broth into the roux and stir with a whisk until there are no lumps. Add the demi-glace vermouth mixture. Simmer the gravy slowly about 15 minutes to meld the flavors.
-
6Taste and adjust the flavor with salt if necessary.
