If you're a fan of Popeyes's classic, Southern-inspired flavor, you're in for a treat! This Popeyes gravy recipe brings all the rich and savory goodness right into your kitchen. Made with a simple combo of butter, flour, and chicken broth, this gravy is surprisingly easy to recreate at home.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • ½ teaspoon cajun seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 1½ teaspoons hot sauce

Directions

  1. 1

    Heat butter in a sauté pan or saucepan over medium heat until melted.

  2. 2

    Add the flour and stir constantly for 2-5 minutes until the mixture is bubbly and foamy. Keep stirring over medium heat for up to an additional 5 minutes (10 minutes total). You’ll know it’s done when it turns a light caramel color.

  3. 3

    Gradually pour broth into the pan while whisking consistently. Add Cajun seasoning and pepper, continuing to whisk. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the desired thickness is achieved.

  4. 4

    Remove the pan from heat and stir in hot sauce, ensuring even incorporation. Taste and adjust the hot sauce according to your preference. Finally, add salt to taste and stir to combine.
