Cornish hens are a type of chicken. They are a lot smaller and just as easy, if not easier, to cook as a regular chicken. They taste pretty much the same too!
Instructions
1
In a bowl, add the potatoes, 1 tbsp olive oil, lemon juice, ¼ tsp sea salt, ¼ tsp paprika and mix to combine. Set aside.
2
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
3
In a small bowl, add the garlic powder, onion powder, 2 tsp paprika, oregano, 2 tsp sea salt, black pepper and mix to combine. Set aside.
4
In a medium-large roasting pan, add the cornish hens. Divide the ¼ cup of olive oil between them and rub all over and inside.
5
Take your spice mix and do the same thing. Make sure to cover the hens on both sides (and get inside) with the mix.
6
Insert 2 lemon slices and 1 clove of garlic into each cornish hen.
7
In the roasting pan, spread the onions and potatoes around. Add the rest of the garlic too.
8
Add the remaining lemon slices. You can even put a couple of them under the cornish hens to sit on while they cook.
9
Lastly, add the chicken broth (or water) to the pan.
10
Roast for 60 minutes or until the cornish hens are cooked and crispy.
