Roast Chicken Gravy by Geisel Nye

Ingredients:
Roast Chicken pan drippings
2-4 Tbls All-Purpose Flour
2 Cups Chicken Broth, heated to warm
½ tsp Thyme or whatever herbs you like (rosemary, tarragon, flat leaf parsley, sage) or a combination of all.
1 Tbls Lemon juice
Salt & Pepper to taste

Directions:
1. Carefully lift foil from jelly roll pan and add drippings to medium size sauce pan.
2. Turn heat to medium and add 2 Tbls of flour and cook about 1 minute. Depending amount of pan drippings, you may need to adjust and add more flour 1 Tbls at a time. You want it to look like a dry paste before adding warm chicken broth.
3. Add warmed chicken broth slowly whisking to combine until smooth. Turn heat to high, boil and thicken.
Note: adding warm broth it ensures a lump free gravy.
4. Add thyme or whatever herbs you like and lemon juice. Season gravy to taste with salt and pepper.
