Roasted Cornish Hens



The beauty of Cornish hens is that they are beautiful, inexpensive and taste great! Plus, they're super easy to cook. We roast hens quite often and like to serve it with roasted potatoes and a green vegetable.


2 Cornish hens
4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Juice and zest of 1 lemon
4 tbsp white wine
4 cloves of crushed garlic
salt & pepper
1 tbsp garlic powder
dash or two of Tony Chachere’s Cajun spice

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Stuff the hens with a little of the lemon peel and the cloves of garlic. Place the Cornish hens on a rack in a roasting pan. In a small bowl combine oil, lemon juice, zest, wine and seasonings; brush onto the hens. Roast in the oven, basting frequently with the olive oil mixture. Roast approximately one and one-half hours or until golden brown.
