Directions:
- Preheat oven to 425.
- Cut backbone from each hen with a knife or kitchen shears (or ask your butcher to do this for you).
- Open the hen until it lies flat, with a leg on each side.
- Rub hens all over with olive oil; season with paprika, salt, black pepper (and/or other seasonings/herbs).
- Heat an ovenproof skillet over high heat; brown hens, skin side up, 3 minutes.
- Turn; brown 2 minutes more.
- Transfer pan to oven; place a heavy cast iron pan or a brick wrapped with foil on top of hens.
- Roast 12 minutes.
- Remove top pan or brick and turn hens skin side up.
- Cook until firm and evenly browned, but still moist, about 7 minutes.
- Garnish with 2 tbsp fresh chopped parsley.
