Steps

1

Preheat oven to 350
2

Rinse birds with cold water and place on baking tray
3

To make stuffing, in mixing bowl rip bread into small cruton sized pieces. Chop celery and onion in small pieces. Mix. Add salt, pepper, and sage to taste. Mix.
4

Stuff game hens with stuffing
5

Baste birds with melted butter
6

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 :)
7

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!!
