Last one I had I skinned it rather that messing about with feathers.
Smear it with lemmon butter, stuff a handful of thyme & half a lemmon up its bum and roast it for about � hour or until it is as you like it.

this is from Penguin books Elisabeth Ayrton: In a large, deep casserole with lid, 2 onions cut into rings, thyme parsley & marjoram, & 2 sticks chopped celery. On top place bird rubbed with flour, salt, pepper & melted butter. Put enough chicken stock (with white wine if you like) to cover veg, cover for 1hr @ 350/185/gas mk 4. Then baste bird with stock, add stoned prunes (or green grapes) & sliced mushrooms. Give it 20 mins without lid, @ 400/210/gm 6, to brown bird. You may wish to thicken the sauce with alittle cornflower. Bon appetite!
