Garlic-Herb Cornish Hens - lemon juice

Method

• In a small bowl, mix the first five ingredients; stir in 1 tablespoon oil. With fingers, carefully loosen skin from Cornish hen breasts; rub herb mixture under the skin, over the skin and inside cavities. Tuck wings under hens; tie drumsticks together. Refrigerate, covered, at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Preheat oven to 375°. Place on a rack in a shallow roasting pan, breast side up. Brush hens with remaining oil.
• Roast 40-50 minutes or until a thermometer inserted in thigh reads 180°. Remove from oven; tent with foil. Let stand 10 minutes before splitting hens in half.
