    • Mix until everything is well incorporated.

  2. Dry the Cornish hens

    • Pat the cleaned hens dry with a clean paper towel until the skin is completely dry so the butter sticks.

  4. Prepare the roasting dish

    • Place the hens on a bed of carrots, celery, garlic, onion and lemon quarters.
    • Pour the chicken stock into the dish.
    • Tie the legs and tuck the wings so they cook evenly and get colour.
    • Sprinkle a little salt over the hens.
