How To Make roast cornish hens
-
1Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
-
2In a small bowl, stir together salt, creole, garlic pepper and accent seasoning.
-
3Season the hens with seasoning mixture. I season the back side first and then the front side.
-
4Pull the skin from the breast and rub seasoning on the breast and add 1/2 tablespoon of margarine or butter.
-
5Loosely stuff the cavities of each hen with 1/2 tablespoon of margarine or butter, some green bell peppers and onions.
-
6Roast the hens in the preheated oven for about a hour or until an instant read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh registers 165 degrees F.
-
7After 30 minutes of baking, I bast the meat with the juices from the hens. And again in the last 15 minutes. Then I turn the oven up to 450 degrees F.
-
8Remove hens from the oven, loosely tent with foil and let rest for 10 minutes before carving and serving.
