Truss the fowl as for roasting, put it into a braising pan with a little butter over a sharp fire; do not put the cover of the pan on. When the fowl has browned well, take the pan off, and put the cover on close; and place the braising pan on charcoal or on very hot cinders, and put charcoal or hot cinders also on the top of the pan.
When done, serve up with a garnish of watercress.
