Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 Cornish hens
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 lemons, halved
1 yellow onion, quartered
2 heads garlic, halved
12 sprigs fresh thyme
8 carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
4 potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 1/2 cups chicken broth

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Coat each Cornish hen with 2 tablespoons of the butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Into the cavity of each bird, insert a lemon half, an onion quarter, half a garlic head and 3 thyme sprigs. Set aside.
  • Spread the carrots and potatoes in an even layer in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish or roasting pan. Add the chicken broth and then the prepared Cornish hens. Roast until the juices run clear and the hens are golden brown, 45 minutes to 1 hour.

I'm not a huge fan of Cornish hen, but this recipe changed my mind! The meat was tender and juicy, and the skin was crispy and flavorful. The lemon-herb butter basting sauce was the perfect finishing touch. I'll definitely be making this recipe again

I followed the recipe but found that the Cornish hen was a bit dry. I think I might have overcooked it. Otherwise, the flavors were great and the lemon-herb butter basting sauce was delicious.

I thought this recipe was pretty good. The Cornish hen was moist and flavorful. I liked the crispy skin too. The only thing I would change is to add more vegetables to the roasting pan. Otherwise, it was a great recipe!

I was disappointed with this recipe. The Cornish hen was dry and overcooked. I think I might have made a mistake in the cooking time. I would try this recipe again, but I would be more careful with the cooking time.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The Cornish hen was cooked evenly, but the meat was a bit dry. I also found the instructions to be a little confusing in some parts. Overall, it was an average experience.

I'm giving this recipe 4 stars because it was pretty good, but not amazing. The Cornish hen was cooked well, but I found the seasoning to be a bit bland. I would have liked more herbs or spices in the rub.
