- Meanwhile, make the gravy by melting the butter in a saucepan. Wait for it to bubble and then gradually add the flour while stirring once the bubbles subside. Continue cooking and stirring until the mixture turns medium brown in color. Gradually add water. Stir until the mixture becomes smooth. Add Knorr Chicken Cube, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir and set aside. Cover the pot to keep the gravy warm.

- Heat the oil in a small cooking pot.
