Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 Rock Cornish hens (about 1 pound each)
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram leaves
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1/4 teaspoon paprika

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°. Rub cavities of hens with salt and pepper. Place hens, breast sides up, on rack in shallow roasting pan.
  • Mix remaining ingredients; brush hens with part of mixture. Insert meat thermometer so tip is in thickest part of inside thigh muscle and does not touch bone. Roast uncovered about 1 hour, brushing with butter mixture 5 or 6 times, until juice of hens is clear when thickest pieces are cut to bone (at least 165°F). Discard any remaining butter mixture.
  • To serve, cut each hen in half with scissors, cutting along backbone from tail to neck and down center of breast.
