Baste often, and if water becomes too reduced add a little hot water. Reverse chickens several times and cook until a chestnut brown. When done pour over 1 tablespoon of butter and serve on a hot platter. A few chopped champignons, boiled in their liquor in a saucepan and served with chicken, are quite an addition.
