Savory Chicken Gravy Mix
What it is
This is a dehydrated powder designed to create a rich and savory chicken gravy. It is made from dried chicken broth solids, starches for thickening, and seasonings to enhance the flavor. When rehydrated with water or broth, it transforms into a smooth, flavorful sauce perfect for a variety of dishes. The convenience of a dry mix means you can have homemade-tasting gravy ready in minutes.
How people cook with it
This gravy mix is a versatile kitchen staple, ideal for elevating everyday meals or adding a touch of richness to special occasions.

To prepare the gravy, typically you will combine the dry mix with a specified amount of cold water or chicken broth in a saucepan. Whisk the mixture until it is smooth to prevent lumps. Then, bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly. Continue to cook and stir until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency. For an even richer flavor, some cooks prefer to use warm broth instead of water. Adjusting the amount of liquid can also alter the final thickness and intensity of the gravy.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike canned gravies, this mix offers a fresher flavor profile and allows for control over its final consistency. It also provides a longer shelf life and takes up less storage space compared to liquid alternatives. The ability to customize the liquid base, using water or broth, offers further flexibility in flavor.
