Ingredients:

Serving

4 (1 1/2 lb) rock cornish game hens, 6 lbs total
2 tbsp oil
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp honey
2 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
2 tsp fresh oregano, chopped
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper

Directions:

Rinse and pat dry hens. Cut out the backbone and split through the breastbone. Trim any excess skin or fat.
Place oil in a shallow pan and heat oven to 400 degrees.
In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, honey, thyme, and oregano. Season hens with salt and pepper.
Once pan is heated, place hens skin side down and brush with half of the honey mixture.
Bake for 30 minutes. Flip hens and brush with remaining honey mixture. Bake 20-30 minutes longer, or until internal temperature reaches 180 degrees. Place on a platter.
Drain drippings into a fat separator or skim as much fat as possible. Serve with hens.
