The whole family liked this recipe. I did not read the reviews first and I burned half of the garlic cloves during the first 25 minutes of roasting. Next time I will add some broth to the bottom of the pan with the cloves so they do not burn. I also found that it took about 20 minutes longer to cook than the recipe called for. When I made the gravy I added some corn starch to cold chicken broth and mixed it into the leftover pan juices. I also added some mushrooms to the gravy. Despite my burned garlic this recipe is a keeper. It is super easy, yummy and the kids ate it up!

This was just yummy! Flavorful! My sons (18 and 20)never had cornish hen before so this was their initiation. They loved it! I forgot to buy lemon so I just squirted some bottled lemon juice in each hen. I also used dry rosemary and sprinkled some inside. I coarsely chopped the garlic instead of leaving whole. I also doubled the wine and broth as we LOVE sauces. I'll use this over and over again! This is a picky family.

Are you for real/ This was such a great main course! I Used a whole bottle of wine instead of the both and johnny's instead of salt. The sauce was sooo good, I was actully slopping it up with the hen and fingerling potatoes. I will totally keep this recipe and pass it on.

I can't believe that this was sooo good. I followed the instruction to the "T". I did double up on the gravy, though. I also think that the burned garlic was the best part, as did my wife & pit bull. I had steamed broccoli and baked potatoes. It was superb. Please try this recipe, you wont regret it!

The meat was very juicy but i didnt care for picking around all those bones. The lemon in the sauce had a bite to it and was greasy. Probably will not make again but the presentation was beautiful.

Very flavorful, made exactly as states plus took reviewer tips and added lemon and garlic to cavity. I'm not sure what happened though, there was no juice from the drippings to reduce. It was more of a crustaceous film at the bottom of the roasting pan. So no sauce, but that's ok, the rosemary infused beautifully and it was still quite tasty.

Delicious, so juicy, so worth the effort. I just made one for myself. I used a 1/2 lime instead of a 1/4 lemon for my hen, and it worked fine.

This was really delicious. I left the skins on the garlic cloves while they were roasting in the oven and slide them out of the skin before adding them to the sauce.

I made this recipe tonight, and followed other reviewers' suggestions of adding a little chicken broth during the first roasting time. Very good idea - as the garlic cloves would have burned otherwise! I also added 20 minutes to the second half of cooking time. The game hens were delicious. The sauce had a really good flavor, but was very greasy and oily. Sadly, the sauce went into the trash, as we could not eat it. Perhaps the game hens I purchased were overly fatty? I will try a modified version of this recipe again, with a regular roasting chicken - as we did enjoy the flavors.

The hens were moist and cooked up well, yet did not have as much flavor as I expected. I will probably try this again, but with more seasoning on the hen.

The hens were very moist and smelled wonderful. I would say these were good, but not delicious. Probaby would only make again if they were on sale. Not a go to item.

Outstanding. I recommend absolutely no changes. The only variation I made to this recipe was I did not have fresh rosemary sprigs so I just rubbed about a teaspoon inside the hen. It turned out to be really moist and delicious.

OMG! The aroma while these were cooking was divine! I almost couldn't wait until they were done, they smelled that good. It was a warm day when I made these and had my windows open. Even the neighbors were asking what I was making that smelled so yummy! I added a bit of lemon juice to my olive oil and sprinkled garlic salt on the hens before placing them in the oven. Also used a pinot grigio wine. I served them with stuffing I made with celery, pecans and cranberries. YUM-MEE! My husband was quite pleased and said this is a keeper. Thanks!

Great taste, but after baking them for an extra 30 minutes they still were too moist. I promise that's possible.
