A delightful recipe for roasted game hens infused with aromatic herbs and a touch of white wine.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Rinse the game hens under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Drying the hens helps achieve a crispy skin.
Season the cavities of the hens with half of the dried parsley, oregano, and seasoning salt.
Rub the spices evenly for consistent flavor.
Cut the garlic cloves in half and place them inside the cavities of the hens.
Ensure the garlic is evenly distributed for a balanced flavor.
Rub the outside of the hens with the remaining spices, ensuring even coverage.
Massage the spices gently into the skin for better adhesion.
Place the hens in a baking pan and pour the white wine and melted butter around them.
The liquid will keep the hens moist during cooking.
Bake the hens uncovered for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes, basting with the pan juices every 20 minutes.
Basting helps keep the meat juicy and flavorful.
Remove the hens from the oven and let them rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the meat tender.
