If patient with them, these are wonderfully delicious, crispy, garlicky, lemony and moist game hens. These are served with a light drizzle of a lemon - white wine reduction as well. Great work kiddos!

Here's what you'll need.
2

Cornish Game Hens pictured. Rinse and pat completely dry. Inside and out. Coat them with garlic olive oil and season them inside and out. Place 1/2 sliced lemon and Rosemary sprigs deep inside each one.
3

Create your broth.
4

Carefully lift the skin of the hens and smear 1 pad butter per hen.
5

Place hens on rack over broth but don't allow hens to touch either your broth or each other.
6

Do this by using a large disposable pan and a lifted rack.
7

Roast your hens uncovered at 425° for 60 minutes. Baste occasionally. You'll want a crisp on your skin.
8

Strain your broth and drippings from your garlic and reserve both separately. Thicken your broth on stove top. You'll use this reduction to drizzle over your hens upon serving.
9

Split hens in half lengthwise with a large knife.
10

Serve hens over beds of stuffing with spuds. Scatter garlic on plate and drizzle reduction over dish. Enjoy!
