  • Melt the butter and add the flour to make a roux ( A mixture of fat and flour used in making a sauce )
  • Once the roux has cooked a little. Slowly add your chicken stock in while whisking at the same time to get rid of the chunks and making a smooth sauce. Add a little at a time so that the sauce thickens properly
