HONEY-HERB CORNISH GAME HENS
I saw this in a magazine and thought it looked absolutely delicious. It would make a very fancy romantic meal or even be great for a dinner party with friends. I love the idea of using Cornish hens because of the combo of dark and white meat. The hens are baked, but I want to try them on the grill when it gets warm.

Steps:
- Rinse and pat dry hens. Cut out the backbone and split through the breastbone. Trim any excess skin or fat.
- Place oil in a shallow pan and heat oven to 400 degrees.
- In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, honey, thyme, and oregano. Season hens with salt and pepper.
- Once pan is heated, place hens skin side down and brush with half of the honey mixture.
- Bake for 30 minutes. Flip hens and brush with remaining honey mixture. Bake 20-30 minutes longer, or until internal temperature reaches 180 degrees. Place on a platter.
- Drain drippings into a fat separator or skim as much fat as possible. Serve with hens.
