directions

1. NOTE: THIS RECIPE REQUIRES 3/8 TEASPOON OF MY Recipe #453973. BEFORE ADDING THE SESAME OIL TO THE BROTH, DISPENSE 1 SMALL DROP INTO A SPOON FIRST, TO AVOID EXCESS SPILLAGE.
2. WHISK together the LIQUID INGREDIENTS in a large bowl.
3. MIX together the DRY INGREDIENTS in a another bowl.
4. QUICKLY whisk the DRY INGREDIENTS into the LIQUID INGREDIENTS, until thoroughly dissolved.
5. MELT 3 tablespoons vegetable shortening in a medium saucepan over low heat; STIR in 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour; COOK the ROUX ingredients slowly over medium-low heat until just bubbly (do not brown roux!).
6. POUR the blended broth mixture into the roux in saucepan; WHISK until mixture is thoroughly blended.
7. BRING gravy mixture to a boil while whisking constantly; BOIL one minute; REDUCE heat.
8. SIMMER until gravy deepens in color and desired consistency is reached, whisking as needed.
9. REMOVE gravy from heat and allow to cool slightly before serving, stirring a often to avoid a skin from forming on surface.
10. SERVE and enjoy!

Made this gravy tonight along with Recipe #58952. It did taste somewhat like KFC gravy. It was on the spicy side and I have a feeling I'm going to be real thirsty later on. I probably will make this gravy occasionally along with the KFC chicken strips. I would recommend others to try this.
