Argo Corn Starch for the smoothest gravies
Lumpy gravy is the worst and many gravy recipes fail because of clumpy flour bits. You can replace flour for Argo Corn Starch in any gravy recipe. I’ve been using Argo Corn Starch for years to make gravy and thicken sauces. It’s my go-to ingredient for smooth, lump-free gluten-free gravies. And it is the best ingredient to thicken clear sauces without making it cloudy or leaving an aftertaste.
Juicy herb roasted chicken thighs
To make the juiciest herb-roasted chicken, start by blending the salt, black pepper, dried herbs, butter, and olive oil. Rub the seasoning onto the skin and place the chicken in a roasting pan.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Roast the chicken uncovered for 45 minutes. The internal temperature will read 165 degrees and the juices will be clear when done.
Garlic gravy
Make a slurry by whisking the Argo Corn Starch with 1/4 cup of the chicken stock, set it aside.
To a saucepan over low heat, add the butter to melt slowly. Follow with the garlic and allow it to heat slowly in the fat until fragrant then stir in the poultry seasoning powder. Stir frequently to avoid scorching. Pour in the remaining chicken stock, milk, and slurry.
Turn up the heat to medium and whisk briskly to blend. When the gravy thickens, turn off the heat and season to taste with salt and white pepper.
