How to Make Garlic-Rosemary Cornish Hen

Step-by-Step

Place hens, breast side up, over lemon and rosemary in an ungreased 11-in. x 7-in. baking dish. Brush with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add garlic to pan. Bake, uncovered, at 450° for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°.
Pour broth and wine over hen and bake 10-15 minutes longer or until juices run clear, basting twice with pan juices. Remove hen to serving plates and keep warm.
Transfer pan juices to a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5-7 minutes or until pan juices reach desired consistency. Strain juices and serve with hen.
