  • 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh rosemary
  • 6 (1 1/4-lb) cornish game hens
  • 6 rosemary sprigs
  • 1 tsp salt

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°.
  2. Mix garlic and chopped rosemary together in a small bowl.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
