This is the first time in my life that I've made Cornish hens, and they were awesome! I thought the lemon and rosemary flavors were divine together. I didn't taste the garlic very much though. Maybe next time I'll throw a few cloves in each hen? Don't know, but it was delicious either way!

One of my wife's absolute favorites, and my go-to romantic meal. I will say that I agree with the other reviews that mentioned doubling the sauce, adding a little juice to the pan, and a little seasoning under the skin of the birds. Oh ... and one warning from a disaster I had a few years back ... when adding white wine to a hot glass baking dish, make sure the wine is room temp! Cold liquid on hot glass = very messy kitchen disaster.

I roasted the hens for extra 10-15 minutes because of the other reviews, but it probably would've been ok without the extra time. Meat was tender, and full of flavor, both me and my wife loved it! I doubled the lemon per hen, and I added salt and pepper on the inside, too... I followed the rest of it exactly.

Very bland. I even used exra garlic in the birds, since we're garlic freaks. The skin was delicious. The meat had no flavor at all. Will never use this again.

We loved the hens! I halved the recipe and roasted just 2. I used a roaster pan without the lid and found the time specified in the recipe was just right. Like others suggested, I added chicken broth to the garlic in the pan so the garlic wouldn't burn and that worked well. I also doubled the gravy as others suggested and that was a good idea. Great recipe - it's a keeper!

For my first time making Cornish game hens, I thought it would be difficult but this recipe was not only easy but fantastic! I added more wine, more chicken broth and more olive oil(to rub the hen) and it was so flavorful!!!I'll definitely make this recipe again, maybe next time with a chicken though (for more meat)

Hen was tender but didn't have a lot of flavor even with all that garlic. I think I prefer seasoning under the skin and that's what I'll do next time.

This is a wonderful cornish hen recipe. Mine turned out delicious and perfectly cooked. I did add a few things...instead of wine I added cranberry juice, lemon juice and cut up a tart apple into the roaster to give the hens a slightly stronger citrus flavor. The apple became a mini-side dish in addition to the rice I served which was great with the extra sauce. This is one recipe I look forward to making again.

Very simple, tastes wonderful. I rubbed the inside of the hens with chopped garlic so that the flavor would absorb better into the meat, then stuffed with the lemon and rosemary. The garlic on the outside of the hens needs to be whole cloves so that it does not burn. Also, I increased the amounts of white wine and broth to 1 cup each, so that I could be liberal with using it on the sides that accompany the meal. I added some chopped parsley to the sauce at the end to finish, and served with Parmesan mashed potatoes (with the reduced sauce on top)...delicious!

This was very good. I looked through my Betty Crocker and How to Cook Everything books, and this was much easier than those books. Makes a great dinner in less than an hour.

I made this for my "slightly" picky fiancé and he LOVED it! Served up with some garlic smashed redskin potatoes, it's an easy meal that looks very elegant. (As a side note, you can find game hens at a certain major "mart" store VERY inexpensively)
