How to Make Roasted Cornish Game Hen With Mustard Glaze
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Remove the backbone from each hen using poultry shears or a sharp knife. Butterfly the hens by pressing down on the breastbone to flatten them.
- Place the hens, skin-side up, in an oven-safe skillet.
- Roast for 10 minutes.
- While the hens roast, whisk together olive oil, Dijon mustard, rosemary, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
- Remove the hens from the oven. Spread the mustard mixture evenly over the skin of each hen.
- Return the hens to the oven and roast for 15 minutes.
- Preheat your broiler. Sprinkle the yellow mustard seeds over the hens.
- Broil the hens 4 inches from the heat for 2-3 minutes, or until the glaze is slightly browned and the hens are cooked through. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Transfer the hens to a platter and keep warm.
- Add white wine to the skillet and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce by half, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Stir in chicken broth and boil for 1 minute.
- Add any accumulated juices from the platter to the skillet.
- Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve into two serving bowls.
- Cut each hen in half and arrange on top of the sauce.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
