Thanksgiving Cornish Game Hens

Instead of turkey my husband and I had Cornish Game Hens
It was my first time making them, but they turned out really tasty. It helps they were roasted in salt, pepper, rosemary and margarine


The delicious spread, Yum o'la

1. If frozen, thaw before cooking
2. Preheat oven to 350°
3. Season hen with salt and pepper inside and out. Truss
4. Place breast side up on rack in shallow roasting pan
5. Roast, uncovered, basting frequently with butter for 1 hour (if hen weights over 1 lb 2oz, roast 1 hour and 15 minutes) or until juices run clear when thickest part of chicken is pierced and temperature on instant read thermometer reads 180°
6. To brown, increase temperature to 400° during last 10 minutes
