- 1/4 cup thinly sliced garlic clove
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
- 6 (1 1/4 lb) Cornish hens
- 6 rosemary sprigs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- cooking spray
- Preheat oven to 350u0b0.
- Mix garlic and chopped rosemary together in a small bowl.
- Rinse each hen under cold water; pat dry. Starting at neck cavity, loosen skin from breast by gently inserting fingers between skin and meat. Place about 2 teaspoons of garlic mixture under skin and spread evenly over breast meat. Place 1 rosemary sprig in body cavity. Sprinkle hens with salt and pepper.
- Tie ends of legs together with cord. Lift wing tips out and tuck under hen. Place hens on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray; bake for 1 hour or until juices run clear. Remove skin and cord before serving; split hens in half lengthwise.
