Instructions for Roast Cornish Hen with Herbs

Place 2 cloves garlic and 2 wedges lemon in each cavity. Prepare herbal mixture by combining oil with garlic, rosemary, sage, tarragon, thyme, salt and pepper. Gently separate skin from breast meat and skin from thigh and rub herb mixture in these places. Rub any extra over the skin. Arrange birds on baking sheets lined with parchment. Roast birds in a pre-heated 400F/200C oven for 45 minutes or until browned and cooked through. Baste every 10 minutes if possible. Place birds on serving platter. To make sauce, pour juices into a measuring cup. Let stand a few minutes. Spoon 3 tablespoon/45 mL of the fat that rises to the surface into a saucepan. Discard remaining fat, but save the juices beneath in the measuring cup. Add flour to the saucepan and cook until browned lightly, whisking constantly. Whisk in the juices, stock, soy sauce and Worcestershire. Bring to a boil. Simmer 5 minutes. Taste. Adjust if necessary. Add butter or cream if desired. Converted by MC_Buster.
