  1. I can't tell you how good this was. The meat was literally falling off the bone when we went to carve it and the skin (my favourite part) was mouth-wateringly tasty. Considering we got enough from this for two big supper plates, my lunch for work the next day, a couple cups of leftover meat and the carcass to make stock with, I think it was very good value too.
     
  2. I made this for Sunday dinner actually. This was so easy and turned out very well. The chicken meat was very moist. The outer skin was nice and crisp. The lemony flavor and creole seasoning made a good combination of flavors. Thanks Nurse Di and Emeril!!
     
  3. Incredible roast chicken. Very easy to prepare. I followed the recipe to a tee. Wonderfully seasoned with the lemon and creole seasoning. A perfect combination in our opinion. The chicken meat was so moist and tasty. Thanks for posting this.
     
  4. Yet another 5 stars. I made this last week after reading some of the reviews and I am so glad that I did. I have a chicken roasting rack which certainly helps with browning and excess fat drippings. I had a rather large bird, 6lbs so doubled the ingredients. What a treat. The out come was a beautifully browned succulent bird. You have a winner here!
     
  5. Made this for my Sunday dinner. LOL The house was filled with wonderful aroma and the flavor of the chicken was great. I doubled the recipe because I had a six pound chicken. I also placed extra rosemary sprigs in the cavity. Next time I will lift the skin and placed the spices under it for added flavor.

  1. Yummy! Very moist and full of flavor! I did make a few changes and those were to use Emeril's Essence instead of creole seasoning (the ingredients for homemade versions are basically the same and I already had the essence on hand) and I also made it in the crockpot instead of the oven-5 hours on low and it was perfect! I didn't love the flavor the lemon added to the chicken, but my hubby really liked it! Thanks, NurseDi!
