Cornish Hens

This is a new one I tried for the first time - Cornish Hens! I've never made them before so I Googled the best way to cook them and came across a nice easy recipe that came out great! 



I found G. Garvin's Cornish Hens on The Cooking Channel's website. The above picture comes from there, but I think that mine looked pretty good in the picture below. I only needed to make two cornish hens so I cut the recipe in half, so below is the recipe as I used it since I made a few changes based on the ingredients that I had on hand.

Ingredients:

• 2 Cornish hens
• 1 tbsp dried rosemary
• 1 tbsp dried thyme
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• pinch garlic salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375 F and place the hens on a sheet pan
2. Combine the rosemary, thyme, garlic, salt and pepper and sprinkle on the hens
3. Drizzle the hens with the olive oil and sprinkle with garlic salt
4. Roast the hens in the oven until skin is golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thigh registers 165 degrees F. about 45 minutes.
