Truss chicken and place in a roasting pan with 2 cups water. Place in a pre-heated 350° oven, allowing about 35 minutes cooking time per pound. Baste with drippings from pan every 25 minutes adding more water if neccessary to keep basting. At last 10 minutes of estimated cooking time, raise oven heat to about 500° and remove chicken from oven when skin turns golden brown. Let stand for 15 minutes before carving. Serves 6.
