To make chicken gravy

Heat the drippings up, over medium-heat and bring it to a boil. In another bowl, add 1 teaspoon of cornstarch to 3 tablespoon water. Mix till there are no lumps and the mixture is well combined. Add the cornstarch mixture into the chicken drippings, whisking the whole time to prevent lumps, until the gravy thickens.
