Very good and very easy to make. Chicken came out extremely moist. There was a lot of "jus" in the pan when the chicken was done so next time, I may not bother making the "gravy." I think I'll just thicken the jus with the slurry. I did have to roast my chicken for an hour, not the 45 minutes the recipe calls for.

I needed a recipe for an oven roaster and found Emeril Lagasse's. It is very easy to prepare, the chicken is moist and the gravy is wonderful. My husband and I loved it. I will definitely make this recipe again. I recommend this recipe to all who wants to use it.

This is definitely NOT how Emeril made it on the show. I taped it, so I was able to go back and see what was different. First of all, he used 4 or 5 times the amount of carrots, celery, and onion in the roasting pan. My bird left so much liquid in the pan after roasting, that I didn't use the extra cup of broth. And to match the gravy on the show, you need a LOT more flour (he used a big scoopful. Plus, he did not save 2 T. fat and mix flour into it, as the recipe states.
Emeril's recipes on this website tend to be not quite how he makes it on TV; be careful with all of them.
All that being said, this IS a delicious recipe. Next time I make this, (and I will I'll do it just like he did, and I might cut back on the butter by 1 or 2 tablespoons.

A lovely basic roast chicken. I used a 5+ pound roaster and so of course cooked it much longer than stated in the recipe, just to 160 and let it rest for a good long time under foil and towels to keep it warm. The gravy was great and oh so easy.
