To prepare a delicious and satisfying meal of roasted birds, begin by allowing one bird per person and trussing each bird carefully for roasting. A small piece of fatty bacon can be tied over the breast of each bird to help keep the meat moist and flavorful during the cooking process. Once the birds have been properly trussed and seasoned, they should be roasted in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for approximately 30 minutes or until they have reached the desired level of doneness. To ensure that the meat stays moist and flavorful, the birds should be basted frequently with butter while they are cooking. Once the birds are fully cooked, they can be garnished with fresh watercress and served alongside a mixed green salad for a well-rounded and satisfying meal that is sure to please even the most discerning palates.
