Not that that hasn’t crossed my mind! In my opinion, when you are roasting a chicken or turkey or making a roast, you have to make gravy from those pan drippings. To pitch that is like some kind of crime against humanity. You can’t see it, but I’m shaking my head at the mere thought of it. But, what are you to do when the craving for easy chicken gravy hits and you haven’t roasted a bird and you don’t have those terrific pan drippings from which to make a delicious gravy? Well, I sure am glad you asked!
What you should do is make a homemade chicken gravy recipe anyway — without the drippings! You can make a gravy recipe easily by using some simple pantry staples and a little bit of stirring muscle. Trust me, you won’t even know you didn’t make this chicken gravy without drippings, it’s that good! Ingredients You’ll Need Toss out any notion of needing an entire chicken here!
I usually like to use low sodium chicken broth so that I have a little more control over the saltiness of the finished gravy, but you can absolutely use regular if that’s what you’ve got on hand. I always use pink Himalayan sea salt in all of my cooking. It is sold at any grocery store and elevates all of your cooking by swapping this for your regular old iodized table salt. I also use a pepper grinder to get freshly cracked black pepper rather than using ground black pepper.
