I don't know if this is popeyes gravy but it was a good recipe. I had to add extra seasoning and salt to mines. I think I can go without the gizzards next time. I had a strong taste to it that I didn't like too much.

First off, this was not bland, but full of flavor and tasted like Popeyes gravy. Excellent over mashed potatoes. Glad to be able to make this wonderful gravy at home.
