Chicken Gravy Recipe Without Flour
I recommend chicken gravy with flour or with roux (made with flour), which gives you a creamy, smooth, and rich gravy. But it is also possible to thicken the gravy without flour and there will be no need for roux as well.
To make this recipe without flour. Add cornstarch slurry (consisting of water and cornstarch) to thicken the gravy.
