Step 1: Roast Your Chicken & Gather Ingredients for Homemade Chicken Gravy
Start by roasting your chicken in your Circulon Non-Stick Sauteuse Pan.
The wonderful thing about this versatile sauteuse pan is that it can go straight from oven-to-hob; allowing you to create your homemade chicken gravy in the same pan that you roasted your chicken. It's the best way to take advantage of all that delicious flavour from your chicken drippings!
"What I love about pans like this is they can go from the oven to the hob and you can continue your cooking process by making a delicious gravy."
Marcus Wareing
After your chicken is cooked through, remove it from the pan. Assemble the following ingredients for your homemade chicken gravy recipe.
Top tip: Marcus Wareing roasts his chicken with shallots, garlic, carrots and herbs - all of these ingredients will help infuse your gravy with flavour.
- Chicken drippings from your roast chicken
- Flour
- Chicken stock
- Any additional seasoning such as Salt and Pepper
Step 2: Master the Roux
According to Marcus Wareing, the key to a great gravy lies in the perfect roux. Slowly whisk your flour into your pan, combining it with your chicken drippings.
Top Tip: A traditional roux is made with butter and flour, but in this recipe we're using the fat from the chicken as the base of our roux and thickening it with flour: no butter needed!
Step 3: Deglaze the Pan With Stock
The next step is to deglaze the pan with stock. Slowly pour in your chicken stock and whisk it into your roux.
This step is crucial for infusing the gravy with the essence of the roasted chicken. As Marcus Wareing says, by deglazing the pan with stock your gravy has "taken up all those little flavour nuggets that are just hiding in all the little corners there".
Step 4: Marcus Wareing's Finishing Touch
To achieve a silky smooth texture, Marcus Wareing recommends straining the gravy before serving. This step removes any remaining lumps, resulting in a visually appealing and velvety sauce. Follow this step to showcase your attention to detail and impress your guests with a professional touch.
"This is where the non-stick really comes into its own... Just push all of that flavour out of your ingredients."
