Directions:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Make basting sauce by melting butter in small sauce pan and stirring in wine (or broth) and tarrgon.
- Sprinkle inside of each hen with salt, pepper, tarragon, and garlic.
- Lightly coat outside of hen with olive (or other) oil.
- Liberally sprinkle outside of hen with garlic salt.
- Tie hen legs together if possible (I've also made these without doing this step).
- Place hens in oven.
- Let hens cook about 15 minutes before starting to use the basting sauce. After each basting, I will occasionally sprinkle more garlic salt over the hens.
- Continue to baste hens every 15 minutes or so until done. If hen wings or top start to darken too much, cover those areas with foil.
- When hens have finished cooking, remove to serving platter.
- Optional - I place the strained drippings in a bowl (skimming off some of the butter) and use this as a 'gravy' for the hens and any suitable rice/potato dish that may accompany them.
- Use your meat thermometer to determine doneness as it varies according to hen weight.
