corn starch or flour
chicken stock
Place your dripping in a sauce pan. Set heat to medium high. Depending on your amount of drippings, you may need to add more chicken stock.
In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup chicken stock with 2 Tbs. corn starch (or flour). Mix to combine. Add corn starch mixture to drippings and whisk constantly until thickened. If you like it thicker, do this again. Bring to a boil. Now it's ready to serve.
It's often hard with gravy to know exact amounts, it all just depends on the amount of drippings that you have as well as the desired consistency you are trying to achieve. Just remember not to add the thickening agent (corn starch or flour) directly to the drippings - always mix them with a small amount of liquid first. Also, always whisk the gravy. If you stop whisking - well, just don't.
If your gravy becomes too thick, just add more chicken stock. Once the gravy is boiling, it has reached it's final thickness. If you don't like it, add more thickening agent or more liquid until you get what you want.
Good Luck!
