Preheat the oven to 200°C.

Mix oil, carrots, onion, and chicken wings in a roasting tin and roast for 45 minutes.

De-glaze the tin on the hob with wine or water and scrape up caramelised bits.

Transfer ingredients to a saucepan, stir in cornflour, add stock, and simmer for 20 minutes.

Strain the gravy through a fine sieve, season with salt and pepper, and allow to cool.

Freeze the gravy in a sealed container and defrost in the fridge before use.

Reheat in the microwave for 4 minutes or in a turkey roasting tray before serving.
