Ingredients

1 cornish hen, thawed, giblets removed2T lemon juice (or 1/2 fresh lemon)2tsp fresh thyme1T fresh rosemary1tsp fresh sage1/4 tsp kosher salt1tsp ground black pepper1T EVOO1 te

Directions

Mix together all ingredients except the hen to create a baste. Rub and massage the baste on the hen both on and under the skin. Pour any remaining baste inside the hen. If using fresh lemon, place the lemon rinds inside the cavity to retain moisture. You can also add a few slices of onion (to be discarded after baking) in the cavity to extra flavor and moisture. Bake at 350 for about an hour. Remove from oven and let rest for a few minutes. Cut in half and serve. Makes 2 servings. Goes great with just about any fresh veggie side dish and can easily be multiplied to increase number of servings.

Just made this. was great. I put in carrots and roasted them. they were lemony and very tasty. I put it under the broiler to crisp the skin and make it look pretty. Everyone loved it. - 6/6/13
