drippings

Pour 1 to 2 cups of water or broth into the bottom of the pan prior to roasting to introduce some humidity into the oven and increase the amount of drippings collected.

Keep the drippings from the sausage in the pan and cook seasoned chicken until almost cooked through.

Make the jus: Carefully pour about 1/2 cup of the pan drippings into a medium saucepan set over low heat.

Once the fish is cooked, the drippings are transformed into a delicious sauce enriched with butter and fresh dill.

I have zero personal connection to the dish steak Diane, which consists of pan-fried steak served in a piquant sauce made from pan drippings, cream, Cognac, shallots and Worcestershire or Dijon mustard.
