If you like Cornish Hens, this is a great recipe that I know you would love. Hint: Serve it to your female friends--men tend not to like little chickens--not enough MEAT for them!
2 Cornish Hens
1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/3-1/2 cup Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio
2 large shallots, peeled and thinly sliced
Juice of 3 lemons
4 sprigs fresh rosemary-leaves removed and stems discarded
1 tsp. freshly ground pepper
1/2 tsp sea salt, also freshly ground if possible
Place all ingredients in a ziplock bag and marinate for approximately 24-48 hours. Preheat oven to 375-400 degrees, depending on your oven. ( gas and electric make a huge difference, gas being my preference, of course )!
Place in a roaster or 13x9 inch pan coated with olive oil and bake for about 1-1/2 hours. Let hens rest for 10 minutes before carving. Meat should be moist and falling off of the bone.
