INGREDIENTS

  • Cooking oil and fats

    • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided

  • Herbs

    • 8 sprigs fresh rosemary, divided

  • Garlic

    • 24 cloves garlic

  • Alcohol

    • ⅓ cup white wine

  • Broth

    • ⅓ cup low-sodium chicken broth

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

2

Rub Cornish hens with 1 tablespoon olive oil and lightly season with salt and pepper. Stuff 1 lemon quarter and 1 rosemary sprig into each cavity. Place hens in a large roasting pan and arrange garlic cloves around them.

3

Roast hens in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.

4

Whisk wine, chicken broth, and remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil together in a small bowl.

5

Remove hens from the oven; reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Pour wine mixture over the hens. Continue roasting, basting with pan juices every 10 minutes, until hens are golden brown and juices run clear, about 25 more minutes.

6

Transfer hens to a platter, tent with aluminum foil to keep warm, and prepare sauce by reducing pan juices and garlic cloves to desired consistency.

7

Spoon sauce and roasted garlic over hens, garnish with remaining rosemary sprigs, and serve.

💡 Use fresh rosemary for the best flavor.Stuffing the hens with a lemon quarter enhances their moisture and adds subtle citrus notes.For even cooking, ensure an instant-read thermometer reads 165 degrees F when inserted near the bone.Reduce the sauce further for a thicker consistency.
