Cover and cook alowly over medium heat for about 10 minutes, or until the water is absorbed. Fill chicken about 2/3 full, with the stuffing, packing it loosely, and sew or skewer the opening. Truss bird and roast.
Place bird, with breast side up, on a rack in shallow pan. Cover top and sides of chicken with a piece of cheese cloth dipped in melted butter. Roast in a slow oven for about 2 hours.
