Bereiding

  1. Make the compound butter

    • Combine the softened butter with the rosemary, sage, thyme and all the seasonings.
    • Mix until everything is well incorporated.
    Stap 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.
    Stap 2
  3. Butter the hens

    • Smear the compound butter all over the hens, including under the skin on the breast.
    Stap 3
  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.
    Stap 4
  5. Roast the hens

    • Roast uncovered at 200 °C (400 °F).
    • Baste every 20 minutes with the drippings until the skin is crispy and golden.
    Stap 5
  6. Rest and carve

    • Remove the hens from the oven and let them rest before carving.
