- Traditional Brown Gravy made after pan frying chicken. Made with pan drippings, flour, water, salt, pepper. It's usually served over rice or mashed potatoes. Please check out our other videos @SouthernSimply
We used to make this all the time when I was little. Sometimes my daddy would take the fried chicken and put it back into the gravy and cook it for a few minutes! Whew that was some good eating!!
People used to put the chicken back in the gravy to simmer to tenderize the chicken. A chicken that was a little older wasn't as tender as a young chicken, thus the need to put it back in the gravy. It sure made for great eating, much like Country Style Steak!
I love me some smothered chicken.
What you say lol i think dads cooking was underrated
Yummy. Making me hungry girl
My mom used to do that, still does it when I visit her. Definitely top five home cooked meals imo
Thank you SO MUCH. My mother passed away abruptly a few years ago and I never got the chance to learn to make gravy this way. I've been longing for this. This is EXACTLY the way she made hers. Thank you for making me very happy. I can't wait to make it myself.
Amocoru At 75 my Mom had a stroke and was never able to help me cook again so I know the feeling. She lived 11 more years and I tried to make things for her that I knew she loved. I could tell by the look on her face if I was successful!
Just wanted to let you know I've perfected this now. It tastes just like hers and brought tears to my eyes. Thank you again.
Just made this with her fried chicken recipe ; I made baked potatoes to go along with it all. The gravy is to die for. This is down home country cooking that is getting more rare as the years go by. Try this.
Thanks for your kind words! It's a wonderful feeling to be able to share my love of cooking with others!
+Phyllis Thank you for the reply. I also made your vegetable soup recipe and that was just amazing. I would love to see some more of your cooking talent showcased on your channel. I am going to watch your biscuit recipe video next. Thanks for the awesome channel!
LOVE YOUR PERSONALITY AND CHANNEL AND STORIES THANKS FOR SHARING
Cindy Strother you are so kind! The world needs more people like you!

elsa sandocal so happy your tastebuds are doing a happy dance!
Beautifully done!
Edna Johnson thank you so much! BTW, my Mom’s name was Edna !
You make it just the way my mom did. Same pan and everything. I can never get my gravy just right. Thank you for the video.
LaTisha Tuggle Just practice a little and you’ll be perfect at it!
This made me remember my great greatmema like nothing else could. 98 years of life in her and her cooking was the most important thing she thought I needed to know.
Those memories are so precious and make our hearts happy. I am thankful that I was able to remind you of her!🧡
So glad I found your gravy recipe.
I am wanting some Fried chicken, with Rice & Gravy like we use to have on Sundays or Roast.
Susan Lee Fried Chicken and Brown Gravy or Roast and Gravy are what I associate Sunday Dinners with too!
I just watched a bunch of videos trying to find the most perfect & practical recipe to make brown gravy and yours is the best!! I was so glad you didn't add milk to the recipe! Thank you for sharing this!! I will be trying this soon!!😋😋😋
So glad you like this method too! Milk gravy is a whole different taste.
Yes ma'am I'm making mine right now. Yummy!!
TBnMe2013 hope you enjoyed it!
@@sissyjollie I really really did! It reminded me of dinner with my dad. Rest his soul. Thanks again!
That makes my heart happy!🧡
I’m attempting this right now but with fried rabbit. I feel confident after watching this video!
Jeremy, it should work exactly the same. Hope it turned out just the way you like it!
Y E S !!! Glad that people STILL eat fried rabbit ! I grew up eatin fried rabbit and squirrel with bisquits and gravy made JUST like this !!! PURE HEAVEN !!!
Thanks so much for sharing this recipe. My mother used to make this gravy after she fried her chicken. She was from a small town near Shreveport, Louisiana. She passed in 96. Until now this recipe has been a lost treasure. Loved this gravy over rice or mashed potatoes. This and pan fried chicken(prepared just like your method) tops the list of my childhood favorites.
Edward Burton you just made my day! So happy I could help you discover your Mom’s secrets. Enjoy!😋🍗🍗
You just brought back my chilhood memories of my mom making fried chicken and gravy. We usually had ours with potatoes though. She made her gravy the same way. Thanks for sharing.
Sweet memories for me too! Those memories are little pieces of my heart.
That was down right poetic!
So glad you liked it.
Thank you for posting this. After 20 years of cooking I finally got it like my Pappy’s with the help of your video. He’d always tell me it was easy but it wasn’t for me or my wife:)
Brad Smith so happy I was able to help you! Gravy is a good thing!
man you did that so quick and easy wow i messed mine up 3 times 😕 im a try again after watching this video i know i can achieve this i will
BigJuicy328 YOU CAN DO IT!! I know you can with my video!
did you do it?
@@sissyjollie 'llm
That was EXCEPTIONAL. Thank you so much for sharing this. It’s truly becoming a lost art.
I hope you will help me to keep the art going by showing others how to make it! 🍗🍗🍗
Thank you ma'am. I'm leanring to cook at 50 for my family. Tonight is chicken night.
that sounds so lovely, good luck with your cooking, i hope it turns out a beautiful for your family
:)
You didn’t say how your gravy turned out, but I do hope you are still cooking!
I just stumbled upon this video quite by accident.... but wow! The memories flooded my mind and heart to the point of tears. Memories of being a little girl and watching both of my grandmas and mom make fried chicken gravy in their iron pans. Exactly how you demonstrated. If only I could time travel back to those days for a precious moment or two. Thank you so much for sharing and touching my heart.
So happy to bring back happy memories! It does for me too especially since I am using my Mom's pan and bowl. 😍
GOOD MORNING THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR FABULOUS RECIPE YUMMY AND DELICIOUS THANKS FOR EXPLAINING STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS FOR PEOPLE LIKE ME WHO CAN NOT COOK THANK YOU SO MUCH
You are so welcome dear! Now you can cook!
we used water to make gravy to in Arkansas. We always ate it over fresh biscuits, and cream potatoes along with the chicken. wow I am hungry now!
Mary West the possibilities are endless! Gravy is great!
Just like my grandma use to make!!! I like a li'l onion in mine! Lol!!! Memories!! That skillet is everything!! I have my grandma's skillet like that!!!
me too that's exactly how I plan on making it
aint no such thing as a little bit of onions!!!!
I️ feel so blessed to have my Mom’s skillet! It was a wedding gift back in 1952.
Thank you so much this was simple, easy and fast.
Derrick Johnson Thanks! I’m glad you liked it!
This was awesome. Love a southern woman like you using your mama's recipes. Very informative and tasty :)
Frank White thank you! I love sharing memories!
looks delicious! I'm going to try your recipie. we always have used milk in our gravy with fried chicken. going to have to try your way.
How did it turn out?
Bless you. I'm a good cook, but nobody taught me gravy. Betcha this will work for my chicken fried steak too.
You make your gravy like I do mines. I am from Georgia my mom taught me this was.
Mama TK I think gravy making is an art and thanks to us, hopefully we can teach others to keep it alive!
That is so true.
I love rice with everything. That looks so good
Numba1TeddyBear, in my opinion, rice is a good thing!🍚🍚🍚
that's how my mom did it. She would always make mashed potatoes with fried chicken and would use the leftover potato water to the gravy.
I'll bet that was good!
That’s brilliant! I never thought of using my potato water for gravy. Thank you to you and your mom!!!
I've been looking for the way my mom used to make it. Thank you. Everyone calls this a roux. I call it plain old brown gravy. I will be using this recipe.
Thank you for sharing this video. Both of my grandmothers used to make their own gravy and it brings back happy memories of our Sunday dinners together!
Dionne Breton thank you! I love bringing happy thoughts to mind!🍗🥄🍗
Phyllis your welcome❤️
My mom did it the same. She would brown onions in the oil before adding the flour. She would leave a few pieces of chicken behind and let it sit in the gravy for few minutes. She called it mulled chicken, I think. I loved it especially the neck and for some reason I just cannot do it right. Nice job!
The onions sound like a great addition. I've seen people put the "boney" pieces, neck, back, etc in the gravy and simmer them. Now the pieces of chicken are so much bigger than they were in the 60's and 70's and that is probably why you have trouble getting it to turn out like your Mom's.
Great demonstration and explanation. Hopefully this will inspire future generations to carry on the Brown Gravy tradition. I already know how to make brown gravy, it was refreshing to see that you have the same exact method I learned from my mom, more so that fried chicken, we often had pan fried breaded round steak. OMG, I love gravy! I was raised on rice and gravy. Viva La Brown Gravy in perpetuity throughout the universe!
John Guilbert you are correct in hoping to inspire future generations! I too was raised on rice and gravy, biscuits and gravy, steak and gravy...you name it, we ate it with gravy!🧡
mom's southern fried chicken, was totally awesome! ty
Marge Faust that makes me happy to know I have helped someone.
I remember mammaw making gravy like this, and the way I make mine. brought back a lot of memories! thanks for that. just good ole brown chicken gravy.
Thanks Taylor for the kind comment! Hope you'll enjoy some soon!
Fellow South Carolinian here, this is great, Thank you!
I made this meal last night and it was delicious
Cynthia M thank you! So happy you have mastered the technique !
Maam, this is wholesome. Takes me back quite a few years. Thank you.
Does anyone know if this works for fried pork chop drippings too? This looks delicious!
Andrea Williams yes, it works for pork chops or cubed steak. It is yummy 😋
Rice and gravy or mash potatoes and gravy with fried chicken!!! To die for!!!
I just made this after my husband fried some chicken tonight. My mom made it all the time with rice. I love this.
That's the way me and my family always made gravy..... good and brown !!
Happy to know someone else makes it the same way! There is so much flavor in brown, brown gravy!
I grew up watching my mom make chicken fried steak and she would gravy in the pan and she always used milk. When I fry chicken or sausage I always make gravy in the pan and use milk. I never once thought to use water! I guess it would be cheaper to use water as well as be less caloric but who is thinking about calories when you're having fried chicken! I just don't think it would taste as good!
Perhaps back in the day, it would have taken too much milk to make as much gravy as some might have needed it to stretch!
at any rate I think that you showed everyone who didn't know how to make gravy how to make gravy very nicely and showed them it's not as hard as they think! Thank you! 💐
I like it with rice too. Good job!
Thanks!
this is exactly what I need. Thank you Ma'am
You are so very welcome!
This is exactly how I make my gravy too. My mother (RIP) was from South Carolina too.
Now this is pretty much how I remember being taught. It is amazing what you forget when you stop cooking. LOL. Now if only I could remember how to make my mom's tomato based roux that starts out using the oil and flour and some tomato paste seasoning etc...guess I should get to experimenting.
Experimenting is exactly how I come up with my best creations!
laruebridge what did your Mom put the tomato based roux on or in? I live in the Deep South and this sounds really good! Thanks!
Yummy
This is some good old school shit right here sxcuse my language
That's the way my mother always made her gravy.
Don't you just love it that way!
I love your intro and music. And of course your recipes. Thanks.
That looks great! Thanks for the recipe! My son and I can't have milk due to allergies and lactose intolerance so this gravy would work great for us.
Just what I needed! thank you! I have limited ingredients today in my in-law's. I'd love to try this today! thumbs up!
Buffy Racoon thanks Buffy! Enjoy!
only difference Momma did, was a glass of water and a glass of milk, onion....but exactly how youre cooking it.....the BEST on rice, biscuits, bread, chicken, anything....i can smell it from here...sure do miss Daddy saying grace at the head of the table before eating...still remember every word in his prayer...TEARS
Bless your heart... Nothing better than sweet childhood memories to keep your heart tender. :-)
Red Blue40 Aren’t those just the best memories ever! I found a handwritten recipe of my Mom’s just this week and suddenly I was flooded with memories of moments spent with her. I think of those moments as “a little kiss from heaven”.😍
you are a genius! I just tried your gravy recipe today.
So happy you liked it! Rice or Mashed Potatoes?
+Phyllis rice
Looks so yummy can't wait to make this thanks 👍🏻😀😀
You are so welcome! Let me know how it turns out!
Ma'am, I love that you "cook by feel". Exact measurements are fine in a professional kitchen but I don't cook in a professional kitchen, I cook at home where I don't have all the fancy measuring devices. Gospel bird! that's fantastic, I love the south!
Yes ma'am sweetie,...yes ma'am,... that gravy looks like every bit of good.... lol. I would cook mine just a bit longer and add just a bit of milk but darling that just looks like a bowl heaven,... excellent job sweetie.
Thanks! I make milk gravy a little differently. Try it like this sometime.
Exactly how I make it!
Nothing better with fried chicken!
This is my must use gravy recipe from now on thank you :)
Jon Hansford thank you so much for the kind words!
Last time I cooked a dinner that required gravy I had my mom to come over and make it for me 😂
I think I can do it on my own this time. Fingers crossed 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
Undeniably Me I am sure you can do it! If it is a little thick, add extra water and if it is a little thin, you meant for it to be that way!
This is perfect but for extra flavor I like to use chicken or beef stock instead of water.
Europai chicken stock works too.
Instead of salt I use bullion.
@@iasimov5960 people on youtube like to pretend bullion isnt a thing.
On behalf all men out there I do apologise, you definitely stated that you were not making milk gravy. Hey as as woman you know all men have selective hearing!!!! I watched you video again after reading your comment and deffinaly heard your disclaimer. Some of us hillbillies are slower than others and for some reason I was not put at the faster end when I was created.
Now I have got to say since I have a better understanding of what you were doing, that you performed flawlessly. You executed every step with perfection. And thank you so much for showing the importance of Browning the roux.
I have subcribed and don't kick me off please.
I really am a Master Chef😀
Daryell Jeffries no problem!
First person I've seen make gravy the right way.
jechoniasmaeweather jechoniasmaeweather I try! We love gravy!🥄
Heaps of people i know who have worked at KFC have told me that KFC makes it exactly like this, they get the leftover bits form bottom of the fryer, and turn it into the gravy you get in your zinger box, spot on
Gravy Science! I would have majored in that :D Nice to find your channel. Exactly how it's done!! thank you!
Awww....Thanks! I love sharing!
Looks good....I use a low sodium chicken bouillon powder instead of salt, adds good flavor
Yum. Thank you!
Hoping you have had the chance to make some gravy by now. Hope your tastebuds are happy!😊
Just like I make it, which I learned from my mom. ALWAYS had this meal with white rice. I'm actually making this tommorow night. Sometimes, if I have it on hand, at the last minute I will add a little heavy cream. Crunchy bits are the best part. We also had this with pork chops..gravy and rice. same way.
That's how you do it.😄
J Williams thanks!
Looks so good!! 😋
Gloria Martin just like Mama’s!
simple and to the point. thanks.
this is great! i love your video. thank you so much!
Faiqah Igbal You are so very welcome!
Felt like I was watching my grandma teach me how to make gravy🥺 thank you🫶
looks yummy thanks for the recipe....will be trying it tonight
ds175182 hope you loved it!
Looks great
Thanks! I just know you will love it!😋
I feel like you're in my family we do the same things.....good video from a fellow South Carolinian...
Hibiscus House Thank You so much!
thanks a bunch for the ez recipe
You are so very welcome ,
THANKS!! MY MOM SHOWED ME WHEN I WAS YOUNGER BUT I THOUGHT THAT I COULD NEVER MAKE IT RIGHT BCUZ IT WAS ALWAYS TOO WATERY OR TOO THICK...NOT USING COMMON SENSE TO JUST ADD MORE FLOUR OR ADD WATER!! (SHRUGGS SHOULDERS) LOL 😄😃😀👏👍
Sade' Watson so happy to have helped you solve your problem!
My wife made gravy with a prime rib she baked.
It was great but very rich !
Yo Man I can just imagine the richness of gravy made with beef fat!
I do mine different I use water if I'm out of milk and not as much grease. It looks yummy. I make mine thicker and make white bread sandwiches with the gravy...
David O'Dan lots of folks have their own method and if it works for you, that is great!
Can I come over for your fried chicken and gravy? lol
Making chicken and gravy right now. Love your video
We would love to have you join us! I know your fried chicken and brown gravy are tasty too! Wish I had some tonight!
South Carolina in the house!!
Karl Manning love it! I will always think of SC as my home!
This is how I make mine but I saute onions in the oil first. I also use chicken stock instead of water sometimes.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, I was looking for this way of making gravy. My elders tried to coach me over the phone with out success. Watching your video brought words to light for me. About to make Beef liver with onions and gravy. I will be using those droppings. lol
E.V. C Sometimes it just takes seeing it done makes it all click!
Pro Tip: dont add all the liquid at once! Add about 2/3rds of what you think it needs, let it come up to a thick consistency and then add enough water to get to what you want!
Excellent video, exactly what I was looking for.
gtrell1991 Happy to help!
Nice recipe I have to TRY THIS!
Great Video!! Loved it!
When you scraped out that skillet, every cat in the house came running.
Everybody knows something delicious when they hear it!😋
I've never made gravy with the residue of Southern fried chicken before. It looks great, but with the greatest of respect to a wonderful cook, I'm not convinced there's enough chicken there to give the gravy much flavour. I would have used chicken stock rather than just plain water to make the gravy.
The ingredients of your gravy are very limited - vegetable oil and a few deep fried chicken bits from the earlier fry, with flour and water added - and that is not a rich or especially flavourful combination. I'm convinced this gravy requires chicken stock, either prepared with a bought stock cube but preferably home made chicken stock which is guaranteed to make everything you add it to taste delicious!
Thank you for your fantastic recipe for fried chicken, which I am going to follow today to use up some chicken breasts. May I ask you a question - I don't have a kitchen thermometer, is there another way to check if my oil is hot enough to put the chicken into? Many thanks for all your hard work, you have created an excellent cookery channel. I just found you on UA-cam and will be binge-watching all your videos this week! Much love from a fan in the UK. XXX
glamdolly20 feel free to add your own twist to my gravy to make it suit your taste. I did use my seasoned flour to make the gravy. If you don’t have a thermometer to test the oil for frying chicken, you can drop a pinch of flour in to see if it sizzles and sometimes, I grab a large wooden spoon and stick the handle straight down into the oil. The oil should create bubbles around the handle if it is hot enough.
@@sissyjollie Oh that is a great tip about the wooden spoon, thank you! I'm very touched to hear back from you, it was very kind of you. Of course we all have unique recipes and do things our own way, that's what's so fascinating about watching cookery channels like yours. I'll be watching many more of your recipes here on UA-cam and look forward to picking up many more tips!
I'm making your fried chicken recipe later today. Other recipes I've seen use an egg or egg/milk/water wash in addition to the flour, but I fear it would make the coating too thick. Your finished chicken looked wonderful, with just the right amount of crispy coating!
Thank you again for taking the time to reply lovely lady. Stay safe & well in the pandemic, much love. XXX
love it!
Thanks Erica!
What I love about cooking is the different methods. Gravy, to me. Leftover Fry up some vegetables diced real real thin and add some stock of choice. Keep them moving fast as you stir then quickly add cold water. Not much. Now stir on a low heat and let it stew. Cover the pot.The veg has become soft, but crunchy and the gravy becomes a thick jus and not a runny water my british neighbours seem to make. It needs to be thickish not sewer water brown flavored. Drizzle it over some rare steak. Two roasted parsnips as dressing. Oh and herbs. Parsley or thyme for chicken. Rosemary for beef, venison. Boom. Everyone goes " mmmm that sauce was great" you get to pretend its a secret recipe and its all the residue of your meal.
Perfect. Just like Texas. We are more likely to have mashed potatoes rather than rice.Well, how about both?
George, I’m with you. I like both!😊
This transplanted Northerner is eager to wrap his lips around that delicious gravy with rice!
It is delish, but fry plenty of chicken first! You will love it!
Good Job 👍
Thank You Melinda!
Love it!!! :)
Thanks Cassandra! I love sharing my techniques and recipes!
