This recipe offers a delightful way to prepare Cornish hens with a savory herb rub, resulting in a flavorful and tender dish.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated before placing the hen inside for even cooking.
In a small bowl, combine the sage, poultry seasoning, adobo seasoning, dill weed, and black pepper.
Mix the spices thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
In another small bowl, melt the butter.
Use a microwave or stovetop to melt the butter gently without burning it.
Brush the Cornish hen with the melted butter, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Coating the hen with butter helps to achieve a golden, crispy skin.
Rub the herb mixture onto the hen, covering all sides.
Massage the rub into the skin for maximum flavor penetration.
Place the hen in a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
Check the internal temperature of the hen; it should reach 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
Let the hen rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the meat moist and flavorful.
