Ingredients

  • 0.3 teaspoon pepper black
  • cups chicken broth 
  • 0.3 cup wine dry white
  • 0.5 cup flour all-purpose
  • teaspoons kosher salt 
  • servings bacon 
  • tablespoons butter unsalted

Equipment

  • bowl
  • frying pan

Directions

  1. Strain the pan juices into a fat separator or bowl.
  2. Let stand for 10 minutes. Skim and discard the fat from the surface; set the juices aside.
  3. Place the empty roasting pan over 2 burners over medium-high heat.
  4. Add the wine and cook, stirring and scraping to dissolve any bits stuck to the pan, for 2 minutes.
