Roasted Game Hen
Cornish game hens - enough for your party
Salt
Pepper
A Tasteful Olive Spice Blend packet (we suggest Italian Seasoning or Herbs de Provence).
The Tasteful Olive medium or robust intensity extra virgin olive oil
Whole garlic cloves, 1/2 of a lemon or orange and fresh herbs like thyme, parsley and/or basil, if desired (for stuffing the hens)
Wash hens inside and out, then dry with paper towels. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Season the outside and inside of the hens with salt, pepper and the spice blend you chose. If desired, stuff with garlic, lemon or orange, and herbs.
Baste with the olive oil and roast in the oven for about 30-40 minutes or until an internal temp of 160 degrees is reached. Allow to rest 10 minutes before serving.
