Re: In 100 minutes ...

"100 minutes is enough time for the fire department to take your burnt out body to the morgue after you put too much chicken in the oil."

No, that's not how it works at all, as millions of home cooks world-wide prove every day. Suggestion: Learn to cook. It'll do you a world of good.

"You can't make your own KFC gravy"

I wouldn't if I could. Tasted it once. Once. Never again. Awful, awful stuff.

"as that is made from the drippings of thousands of fried chickens."

So make it yourself. After frying your bird, drain most of the grease, less about a tablespoon (15ml), out of the frying container. Leave the brown crunchy bits (BCBs, or "fond" if you're classically trained). Over medium heat, add about the same amount of flour[0] as there is grease. Stir it in for a couple minutes to remove the raw flavo(u)r from the flour. Add about a cup of milk[1] slowly, stirring constantly to dissolve the BCBs. Bring to a strong simmer/low boil and adjust consistency to suit yourself. Salt & pepper to taste. A little bit of your favo(u)rite herb from the garden at the end will impress your significant other; I usually go all traditional & add thyme with a hint of sage.

HTH.

[1] Can use any stock you have lying around instead of milk.
