Does anyone have any good recipes for game hens? Any and all help welcomed.
Brittany
 
INGREDIENTS:
4 Cornish game hens
salt and pepper to taste
1 lemon, quartered
4 sprigs fresh rosemary
3 tablespoons olive oil
24 cloves garlic
1/3 cup white wine
1/3 cup low-sodium chicken broth
4 sprigs fresh rosemary, for garnish

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
Rub hens with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Lightly season hens with salt and pepper. Place 1 lemon wedge and 1 sprig rosemary in cavity of each hen. Arrange in a large, heavy roasting pan, and arrange garlic cloves around hens. Roast in preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a mixing bowl, whisk together wine, chicken broth, and remaining 2 tablespoons of oil; pour over hens. Continue roasting about 25 minutes longer, or until hens are golden brown and juices run clear. Baste with pan juices every 10 minutes.
Transfer hens to a platter, pouring any cavity juices into the roasting pan. Tent hens with aluminum foil to keep warm. Transfer pan juices and garlic cloves to a medium saucepan and boil until liquids reduce to a sauce consistency, about 6 minutes. Cut hens in half lengthwise and arrange on plates. Spoon sauce and garlic around hens. Garnish with rosemary sprigs, and serve.
 
Here''s my simple, VERY basic recipe:

1 cornish game hen
2 tbsp olive oil
Rosemary, basil and oregano
Garlic powder/granulated garlic
Salt

Remove giblets, if any, and rub hen with olive oil. Sprinkle salt and garlic powder over the whole bird. Crush and sprinkle the herbs over the whole bird.

Put bird in preheated oven at 375 degrees. Cook for about 40 minutes.

Very basic recipe, but it''s easy and yummy!
