Juicy Roasted Chicken image

My grandmother's recipe for roasted chicken. We are German and she used to do it this way all the time. I never have had a chicken this juicy before; this little trick works and makes the people eating it go silent. It's funny. We nibble on the celery after.

I tried this recipe last night and it was a disaster. The chicken was dry and overcooked, and the skin was tough. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.
