Add 3 tbsp (45 ml) reserved fat to a large skillet or frying pan and warm over medium heat, reserving remaining drippings. Whisk flour into fat, making a roux. Cook, whisking constantly, for 2 minutes. Whisk in reserved drippings, remaining 2 cups (500 ml) of wine and chicken stock. Continue cooking gravy, stirring constantly, until thickened. Season to taste with salt and pepper. 7 To serve, scoop stuffing out of chicken and then carve chicken.
