Whenever I eat KFC, I always wrestle with myself. Because I want to dip the chicken in the gravy, the fries in the gravy, and the bread roll in the gravy. And I run out of gravy! Tragic.
I used to make it at KFC.We used a large pot of water to a boil,The cracklings you spoke of is weighed after the fryer is drained it is pot into the freezer.When the water comes to a boil we added the cracklings,and a gravy pack to a gallon of water mix gravy mix and add to cracklings continue stirring turn fire to low and stir from the bottom..GRAVY!😊
I was a KFC cook in Australia as a school kid. We called the cracklings "fines". I can't remember all the details after 50 years but I do recall that making the gravy was a horrible job, trying to stir in all those refrigerated fines until they became gravy. But I still love the gravy and I still love KFC (but just once in a while). Now I see myself in all those little kids working in KFC outlets. I must visit one day to see how the cooking is done in 2023.
Tried making it today, it came out WOW.... I had tired many times previously but it never came out the way I imagined it to be but your recipe is the winner. Thank you for sharing😁
Thank you so much. This gravy is my new favorite. I have tried many gravy recipes, but none of them was near similar to KFC's like this one. I was honestly going to skip the white wine vinegar, I'm glad I didn't, what a difference it makes. You people should, try it, that good.
I am happy you tried it out.!! The white wine vinegar really does add to the taste. I am glad you didn't leave it out. Thanks for sharing your experience 😊👌👍
Thank you for the amazing gravies you do and other things. I did a holiday gravy trio with your brown, prime rib, and KFC gravy. Had twelve ppl over and strip and ribeye steaks with mashed potatoes. The winner gravy was ALL. Not one cup survived. thank you. I pointed 12 guests to your channel. I hope they subscribed this last weekend.
Love your channel and I use your recipes as a cook. In regards to the KFC spices, I believe I taste either THYME or what we call in the Canadian Maritimes, SUMMER SAVOURY. When I make a chicken gravy I use it and usually get the response, "That tastes like KFC!" Anyone else think this spice is used? Gravy forever...or until my cholesterol reaches unsafe levels.
My father who was from the south and always called it pepper gravy. I remember seeing a video way back that said the colonel was more concerned about the gravy than the chicken. I've had some of the new beef sauce that's called gravy and as one could expect, it's horrible. As a kid back in the 60s I could eat a tub of the gravy and the little rolls and nothing else, it was really really good. Thanks for the video.
I worked at KFC when I was 16 and the cracklin' part is true. We'd scrape out the gunk at the bottom of the fryers, then portion it in bags and put it in the walk in. Then when it was gravy making time, pull out one portion,throw it into the mix and whip out the lumps. It looked disgusting but tastes like heaven
This was amazing! Made it without sage. I would take the salt out of it next time as a bit salty for my liking but by far the best home made gravy Ive tasted
Of all the KFC Gravy's I've viewed and tried, yours sure came the closest to hitting the nail on the head. I had a big question mark fly up when I saw you add the white wine vinegar. I was shocked that it made that much of a difference in bringing the flavor closer to the KFC taste. Thanks for your recipe!
I always add a little bit of wine to my sauces and gravies, not because it adds a different flavor, but because it seems to "energize" the magic that's already there. Works every time!
Secret ingredient is all the drippings that are collected from the chicken sitting on the warmer racks mixed with their gravy mix and water - its all about the dripping fat that makes it so tasty ;)
Made this last night but the chicken stock cube I use had to much salt and it spoilt it, made it far to salty so you live and learn. I had to add 3 more cups of water to it and reduce down before the salt would dilute down, on the positive side it also mellowed out the spices and made it more like KFCs own. (I had a small tub of KFC's gravy left over from the weekend, next to me to compare as I was making it.) Also I used the left over herb mix and sprinkled it over some crumbed chicken fillet and gave it to the kids, who ate it and said it was good. I think next time I make it I'll try it with half a table spoon of herb mix and build up from this adding a bit at a time. But well done even the wife said it was good even though it was still to salty.
You are indeed sauce boss! I really like the focus of your channel too, all sauce all the time. Alright, you've really de-mystified the KFC gravy recipe. The spice blend is spot on and so is the cooking technique. You really nailed the consistency too. Great share. Greetings from Toronto. New friend here, hope we can keep in touch. Cheers!
Just made this, and yes that cayenne made it spicy!! But it came out good, I also added onions, garlic and mushrooms..I didn't have beef and chicken stock so I used beef/ chicken bullion to my gravy. To me it didn't taste like KFC gravy,, but it came out delicious 😋 💯thank you!!
Now THAT looks like the old-school KFC gravy when I was a kid back in the 1970s. I like how your recipe does not use Ginger. I never thought that that was a legitimate ingredient for Sanders to have used but many copy-cat recipes add it. It didn't make sense to me, seeing where he grew up and the times he lived in.
Thank you for this recipe. I've made it a few times and it's really good. I added 1 tbsp of fish sauce to it along with the vinegar and it made a world of difference.
Thanks for watching Maite!! As long as you use chicken and beef/veal stock you should be fine. Any brand will do. Don't use chicken or beef broth - it will not taste the same as a stock.
@@thesauceandgravychannel ...well for starters it was modification out of necessity because I didn't have most of the herbs and spices.. lol.. so it was just butter.. flour.. salt.. pepper.. sage.. chicken bouillon and beef broth.. it's "close enough" to KFC for me ..I've made my version of poutine with it and today I made my version of the famous KFC bowl.. it was fantastic!!
I work there now and I was about to comment this. The cracklings that collect in the bottom cylinder of the fryer are just dumped out, not used to make gravy from scratch XD
You've most definitely made the Colonel proud with this delicious looking quality Home Made KFC Gravy. There is no doubt this would be way better than the current KFC version, which I have never been a fan of by the way. I like the chicken but not the gravy!
I have been watching for a while and have tried some of the sauces and incorporated a few into my daily cooking. Around here Popey’s is king. Their gravy is the best. Happen to have a recipe for that ?
