Number Of Ingredients 6

3 Rock Cornish hens (about 1 pound each)
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram leaves
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1/4 teaspoon paprika

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°. Rub cavities of hens with salt and pepper. Place hens, breast sides up, on rack in shallow roasting pan.
  • Mix remaining ingredients; brush hens with part of mixture. Insert meat thermometer so tip is in thickest part of inside thigh muscle and does not touch bone. Roast uncovered about 1 hour, brushing with butter mixture 5 or 6 times, until juice of hens is clear when thickest pieces are cut to bone (at least 165°F). Discard any remaining butter mixture.
  • To serve, cut each hen in half with scissors, cutting along backbone from tail to neck and down center of breast.

Not bad, but not great either. I've had better Cornish hens.

The hens were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add more herbs and spices next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the hens turned out dry and overcooked. I'm not sure what went wrong.
