I’m talking about old fashioned chicken with brown gravy and rice

The way I cook, I very seldom
use a roux.

I’m sure with a good brown gravy I will need to.

Would also like to use on other meats, roast etc.

I like shoulder roast

Fry chicken in 2 inches of oil. Pour off all but 1 cup of the oil once you finish the chicken.keep all sediment in the pan. Whisk in a cup of flour over med heat. Use the leftover seasoned flour from frying the chicken.

When you have a nice brown color, slowly whisk in water...enough to make gravy the thickness you desire. Season to taste.

If you want to smother the chicken, add more water for a thinner gravy. Add the chicken (and some onion) and simmer on low heat for 40 minutes or so.Season to taste. I like to add sliced mushrooms too.

Do you flour the chicken before frying?

I lightly flour if I'm making fricassee, full breaded for fried chicken which is what Otis is talking about.

For just a grease gravy, no flour at all. Just a hard, hard sear/deep browning of the chicken. The gravy will come from the fond dissolving in water.

I season chicken thighs well and brown really well until I get a good bit of fond built of at the bottom of the pan. Remove chicken and add onions and brown them really well scraping up the find as I go. Add some minced garlic for a bit then add stock. Cover and cook on low.

And if you want a milk gravy, which I like use milk instead of water.

I like the mushrooms as well.

I do the same think with backstrap except I use milk instead of water.

I may have to try water next time.

This is how you make a “brown gravy.”

This, key is getting dem onions really brown. You may have to deglaze the pot 6-10 times.

This weekend I smothered a hen and sausage and I always season the meat the night before. But I read a Paul Prudhomme method where he douses the chicken pieces in pepper vinegar sauce, seasons and lets the bird sit overnight. I was afraid it would be too hot, but the vinegar actually tenderized the hen and gave a nice piquant flavor to the hen and sausage. Was very pleased with the outcome.

PS good luck with that gravy.. because from some of these instructions, it looks like some people are VERY confused about how to make one.
