How to Make Herb Roasted Cornish Game Hens
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large roasting pan with foil.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon dried herbs (Italian mix recommended), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Reserve 2 tablespoons of the herb mixture.
- Generously rub the remaining herb mixture inside and out of each Cornish hen.
- Stuff each hen with 1 sprig of fresh rosemary, 1 sprig of fresh thyme, and a 1/2 slice of lemon.
- In a large bowl, toss together 1 pound baby carrots, 1 pound small red potatoes (halved), 1 medium onion (quartered), and the reserved 2 tablespoons of herb mixture. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Arrange the vegetables in the prepared roasting pan. Place the hens on top of the vegetables.
- Roast for 50-55 minutes, or until the juices run clear and a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 180°F (82°C).
- Remove from oven, tent with foil, and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
- Serve with a fresh green salad and red wine vinaigrette.
