Chicken in a roasting bag...how to make gravy?

Hi. I'm doing a chicken in a roasting bag but not sure how to make gravy. When I did one last time I just drained it all out and then had nothing!
How do people make their gravy if no roasting tin and obvious separation of fat/juices?

Drain off the juices into a bowl and set the cooked chicken aside under some greaseproof and a tea-towel to rest for up to 30 mins. The juices should quickly start to separate with the fat rising to the top. Skim off the fat (you can get special separator jugs that make this easier) and reserve. Heat a tablespoon of the fat in a small saucepan, whisk in a tablespoon plain flour and allow to gently cook. Then gradually stir in the reserved juices and check seasoning. If it's too thick, add some of the cooking liquid from any vegetables or a splash of wine. After the chicken has rested, pour any juices that have come out of it into the gravy as well. It'll be quite a pale gravy... gravy browning fixes that if you prefer a darker colour.

That gravy was delicious!And I made Yorkshire puddings for the first time and they were great.
Stuffed now.

Thanks again.
