Marjoram Chicken (Or Hens) in White Wine Sauce image

This recipe works equally well for a medium sized roasting chicken or four Cornish game hens. It has a lovely flavor and is as good for company as it is for family meals. (All butter or all margarine can be used. I use half and half simply to cut back on some of the calories but still retain the wonderful flavor.)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 roasting chicken (a 3 lb. chicken or four 3/4-lb. Cornish game hens)
1/4 cup margarine
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon ground marjoram
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
3 tablespoons cornstarch
3 tablespoons water
1/2 cup chicken broth

  • Rinse chicken/hens in cold water and pat dry. Arrange in baking or roasting pan.
  • Melt margarine and/or butter in small saucepan.
  • Stir in wine, marjoram, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Pour over chicken.
  • Roast at 350 degree F for approximately 20 minutes per pound. (Use a meat thermometer for accuracy of 'doneness' if you can.).
