Ingredients

Four 1 and 1/4 to 1 and 1/2-pound Cornish game hens, giblets removed

1 lemon, cut into 4 wedges

4 large fresh rosemary sprigs

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

24 garlic cloves, peeled

1/3 cup dry white wine

1/3 cup canned low-salt chicken broth

Additional rosemary sprigs (for garnish)

Directions

Preheat oven to 450° F.

Pat hens dry with paper towels. Season cavities lightly with salt and pepper.

Place 1 lemon wedge and 1 rosemary sprig in cavity of each hen.

Rub hens with 1 tablespoon olive oil.

Season outside of hens lightly with salt and pepper.

Arrange in heavy large roasting pan. Scatter garlic around hens.

Roast hens 25 minutes.

Reduce oven temperature to 350deg.F.

Pour wine, broth and remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil over hens.

Continue roasting until hens are golden brown and juices run clear when thigh is pierced at thickest part, basting every 10 minutes with pan juices, about 25 minutes longer.

Transfer hens to platter, pouring any juices from cavity into roasting pan.

Tent hens with foil to keep warm.

Transfer pan juices and garlic to heavy medium saucepan. Boil until reduced to sauce consistency, about 6 minutes.

Cut hens in half lengthwise. Arrange on plates.

Spoon sauce and garlic around hens. Garnish with additional rosemary sprigs and serve.

That's it! Enjoy

I have an old,well seasoned 20" cast iron skillet that would be just the thing for this recipe, if I used brandy instead of the wine. Wine tannins react to iron and gives an off taste, but I like the idea of using the same cooking pan.

I've used the skillet to fry fish on the BBQ many times.

Thanks for sharing....Bob
