Rotisserie Chicken Gravy

I don't know about all of you, but I am admittedly a gravy hog. I love the convenience and great flavor of rotisserie chicken, but miss the pan gravy that I would make with a home cooked roast chicken. I think I've found a way to make good tasting gravy using a package mix.

When you remove your chicken from the store package, be careful not to lose any of the drippings in the bottom. Place the package in the microwave for about ten seconds, which will make it easier to pour the drippings into a small saucepan. Heat the drippings a bit and stir the dry package mix into the drippings. Since the drippings are mostly fat, the result is somewhat like a roux. Be sure to stir until no lumps remain. Then add one cup of water, or a combination of 3/4 cup of water and 1/4 cup of dry white wine. Bring to a boil, stirring all the while, until the gravy thickens. Voila, good tasting gravy from a mix!
