4. Heat the stock in a saucepan with the strained marinade and pour it over the bird. Tuck the herbs around it and add salt and black pepper. Cover and transfer to the oven for 1 hour; if an old bird, allow twice as long.

 

5. Turn the bird over from time to time. When tender, takt1, it out and carve it. Lay the pieces in a serving dish and keep them warm while you make the sauce.
