This is excellent, although I added rosemary to the spices. Cooking time at 375 is too short. Need to increase temp or lengthen time.

The hens were delicious and very juicy! The only substitution I made was using "smoked" paprika, instead of regular paprika. I cooked them at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 30 minutes.

So-so recipe. Added rosemary along with other seasonings. If make again will cut down on the lemon juice, a bit too much for our tastes.

this was an excellent dish. i used this recipe for my girlfriend and i and we absolutely loved it. i would highly recommend using a little less lemon juice and adding some fresh chopped garlic and rosemary. i will be making this dish again in the near future.

Delicious! Moist, golden and a wonderful citrus flavor. I also added rosemary. Will make again!

Okay. Like my own recipes with cornish hens. Although it was juicy, my family and I didn't care for the 'lemony' taste. Followed other reviews suggestions and used some of my own spices, but still this recipe falls short.

I made these for an anniversary dinner and all I have to say is wow! They were tender and moist and the sauce was perfect! I admit I too used fresh herbs as opposed to dried and cut back a tad on the lemon, but only because of who I was cooking them for. This was the perfect dinner to celebrate. Thanks so much!

Yummo. I didn't find the lemon juice overwhelming at all as others have said. And I'm not big on citrus in my meat. Very easy recipe. Great flavor. For some reason, my roaster pan dries up liquids very quickly making it difficult to baste. So after the 30 minute mark when I was supposed to start basting, I poured a little white wine in the bottom of the pan. I basted the hens every 10 minutes for the next 30 minutes. It was wonderful, and the crunchies in the bottom of the pan were so good! Adding cloves of garlic as someone else said would probably make this even better. If I make cornish hens in the future, this may be the only recipe I'll use.

This wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. It had an odd taste and no one enjoyed them. I'm not going to spend extra money to buy Cornish Game Hens and then use a blah recipe. Nothing special - you can say that again.

Made these for a family dinner and they came out so beautiful and tasted wonderful. Of course I made a few changes. I only used a dash of thyme, added in a bit of dried rosemary and I put half of a lemon in the cavity of each bird. Also, instead of pouring half of the liquid over the birds in the beginning, instead I basted them every 15 minutes. Birds were golden brown and moist with a wonderful lemony flavor. Everyone enjoyed this very much!

This was just OK. It was kind of bland and the chicken seems greasy. I prefer the rotisserie recipe on here, the best!
