Why British gravy comes in flavours
Walk down a British gravy aisle and you will find granules matched to specific meats: chicken, beef, lamb, turkey, onion, and vegetarian versions too. Matching the gravy to what is on the plate is simply how it is done, and a household that roasts a chicken on Sunday will keep chicken granules for it.
This does not really exist in the United States, where gravy tends to be made from the drippings of whatever is being cooked, or bought as a single generic brown or turkey gravy. The idea of a cupboard stocked with three or four meat-specific gravies is distinctly British.
Granules versus powder
Granules are the modern convenience format. They dissolve straight into boiling water and thicken as they go, with no paste step and very little risk of lumps. The trade-off is a little less control over thickness than you get with the original powder.
For a weeknight, granules win comfortably. For a proper Sunday roast where you want to build the gravy on the roasting-tin juices, the powder gives a better result.
How to use them
Boil the kettle, measure the granules into a jug, pour on the water and stir. It thickens within seconds. Start with slightly less water than you think you need, because British gravy should pour freely but still coat.
To improve it, use hot stock instead of plain water, or stir the granules into the juices left in the roasting tin. A teaspoon of Marmite stirred in adds depth, which is a common British kitchen trick.

Frequently asked questions
Do granules need mixing with cold water first?
No. That is the advantage over the powder. Granules go straight into hot water.
Is chicken gravy only for chicken?
That is the intended pairing, but it works with pork, with sausages and with a vegetarian roast where a beef gravy would be too heavy.
How much does 450g make?
A great many jugs. Follow the dosing on the tub and adjust to how thick you like it.
Can I make it richer?
Use stock instead of water, or make it in the roasting tin with the meat juices. A little Marmite stirred through adds savoury depth.
