Place bird, breast-side up in a roasting pan and pour water into the pan. Roast chicken for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and roast for and hour. While the bird is roasting, heat butter, mustard, honey and jam in a small saucepan until smooth and hot to touch. Remove from heat and stir in the Grand Marnier. Spoon glaze over the chicken.
