Instructions
-
Collect all chicken pan juices, cool, and skim the fat. Measure 2 1/2 cups of drippings, supplementing with chicken stock if needed.
-
Place the roasting pan over high heat on the stovetop.
-
As residual juices begin to bubble, add flour and stir quickly for one minute, scraping up any sediment.
-
Whisk in the wine until combined, then add all measured drippings or stock into the flour-wine mixture.
-
Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes.
-
If using, stir in red currant jelly until dissolved, then strain the gravy through a fine sieve into a serving vessel.
-
For a thicker gravy, create a paste by mashing 1 tablespoon each of butter and flour, then gradually whisk into the boiling gravy until desired thickness is reached before straining.
