I made this on a dare. My husband, after trying my chicken, dared me to make something close to his favorite mashed potatoes and gravy -- which also happens to be from KFC. I took him up on that dare, and this is what I came up with. I have seen many recipes that use beef bouillon or beef gravy as a base, and I wanted something that tasted more like poultry. It's not an exact replica, but it's a yummy result.

How To Make "as close to kfc as i can get it" chicken gravy

    Over low heat, incorporate butter and flour, forming a roux, and continue to stir until flour has reached a deep tan color -- about 20 minutes.
  • Step 2
    Slowly pour in stock, stirring as you go to bring up all flour bits. Stir over medium heat until lumps are gone and stock begins to thicken.
