Stuff game hens with stuffing

Baste birds with melted butter

Season birds like you would a whole chicken or turkey. I usually season with garlic powder, season salt, black pepper, and red chili powder. Or whatever's in the cupboard :)

Cook birds for 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes if no stuffing. If birds are stuffed increase cooking time 15-20 minutes. Baste birds with melted butter 2-3 more times while cooking, roughly every 20-30 minutes. When juices run clear at bottom of bird its done, or just use a cooking thermometer.

Cut whole birds in half with a large and sharp knife. Serve half a bird with your favorite side dishes. I always prefer mashed potatoes and gravy made from the birds drippings and any veggie of choice. Enjoy!!

Small birds with an international flare! This recipe sounds sophisticated but is easy and takes just about 25 minutes of actual work in the kitchen. But to allow 60 minutes of oven time, it needs to be started 80-90 minutes ahead of meal time.
