You can omit the sides if you want.

Rosemary-Lemon Cornish Hens w Roasted Potatoes & Maple Squash

Serving Size : 2

You can easily vary this recipe by using thyme in place of rosemary or sprinkling ground red pepper and garlic powder over the potatoes.

2 teaspoons crushed dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, divided
2 (1 1/4-pound) Cornish hens
1/2 lemon, halved and divided
2 cups cubed Yukon gold or red potato
2 teaspoons olive oil

Preheat oven to 375°. Combine crushed dried rosemary, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Remove and discard giblets from hens. Rinse hens with cold water; pat dry. Remove skin; trim excess fat.

Working with 1 hen at a time, place 1 lemon piece in the cavity of hen; tie ends of legs together with twine. Lift wing tips up and over back; tuck under hen. Repeat procedure with remaining hen and lemon piece. Rub hens with rosemary mixture. Place hens, breast sides up, on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray.

Toss potato with oil; sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Arrange the potato around hens. Insert a meat thermometer into meaty part of a thigh, making sure not to touch bone. Bake at 375° for 1 hour or until thermometer registers 180°. Remove twine. Yield: 2 servings (serving size: 1 hen and about 3/4 cup potatoes)

Maple-Glazed Winter Squash
If you are serving the squash with the Rosemary-Lemon Cornish Hens with Roasted Potatoes, you can cook the squash in the same roasting pan. Make sure to arrange the squash on the front of the pan so you can easily brush it with the syrup mixture when you open the oven door.

1 (1 3/4-pound) butternut squash
Cooking spray
4 teaspoons maple syrup, divided
1 teaspoon butter, divided

Preheat oven to 375°. Cut squash 1 inch above bulb; save stem section for another use. Cut bulb in half lengthwise. Remove and discard seeds and membranes. Place squash halves, cut sides up, on a broiler pan; place 2 teaspoons maple syrup and 1/2 teaspoon butter in each squash half. Bake at 375° for 1 hour or until the squash is tender, brushing cut sides with syrup mixture every 20 minutes. Yield: 2 servings (serving size: 1 squash half)

Answer 8

I just brush with butter and add some chicken seasoning and bake at 350 for about 1 hour.

Answer 9

I take salt, pepper, and garlic salt and rub under the skin. Then bake, grill, or deep fry. If you're going to grill them split them down the spine so they are flat or stick them on top of a can of beer.
