2lbs Chicken wings<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2 T Butter<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2 T Wheat Flour<\/p>\n\n\n\n
6 C Chicken broth<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 tsp Bouillon cube<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2 tsp Salt, Pepper, Garlic and Onion Powder, Celery Salt<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 T Canola oil<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Optional (1\/2 C Mushrooms, Chopped Celery, and onions)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Season chicken with 1 tsp of seasonings. Toss to coat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat add oil. Brown chicken on all sides for about 6-8 mins. Set aside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. In the same skillet, deglaze the pan by scraping bits from the bottom. Add butter and flour to make the roux. Whisk until caramel-colored about 4-6 mins. (If using celery and onions, add them here and cook for 1 additional minute)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Add broth and remaining seasonings. Whisk once more until gravy is slightly thickened. Add 1\/3 C water to thin if gravy is too thick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. Add chicken back to the pan, lower heat to medium-low. Cover and let simmer for 30-45 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
