I thawed some rock cornish game hens last night, so I had to do something with them today.
I had some lemons that I needed to use & some Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning sitting on my counter so I thought... yeah, that'll work.
Boy was I right. The hens came out moist and lemony with a hint of creole spice. Even my 5 year old loved it.
The prep time is about 10 minutes & slap it in the oven. Done.
So here it is:
Ingredients:
Rock Cornish Game Hens - Usually 1 for each person is recommended (they are small)
1 small lemon for each hen, washed and quartered
Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning
Organic Cold-pressed Olive oil
Process:
Preheat oven to 350 Degrees.
Coat a baking dish or roaster with olive oil.
Take one hen and coat the inside of the cavity with olive oil. Sprinkle the Tony's inside and stuff 4 lemon quarters in the cavity.
Coat the outside of the hen with olive oil (I like to leave the skin on so the meat does not dry out, but it can be removed).
Sprinkle the Tony's liberally all over the outside of the hen and place breast down in the pan.
Repeat for as many hens as you have.
Cover with foil (or the lid of the roaster) and bake for 50-60 minutes (or until done). Remove foil the last 10 minutes so the hen(s) can brown.
Let them rest for a few minutes while you finish up your sides. Serve with veggies or a nice tomato soup. YUM!
Enjoy!
