We happened to eat at Popeye’s today. We always get the spicy chicken, and we love it; but I think the thing they make best is the gravy on their mashed potatoes. I once tried a ‘copycat’ recipe for that, and it turned out awfully. I will have to try again - there’s a little, spicy ‘zing’ in that gravy that I can’t figure out.

Have you tried this version? I added a bit more vinegar to my taste. My husband really loves Popeyes’s chicken too.
