    • Mix until everything is well incorporated.
    Paso 1
  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.

  3. Butter the hens

    • Smear the compound butter all over the hens, including under the skin on the breast.

  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.
    Paso 4
  5. Roast the hens

    • Baste every 20 minutes with the drippings until the skin is crispy and golden.
