Whatever the season, the smell of roasted chicken and herbs will always bring everyone back to your kitchen for a good evening dinner! We made this recipe not too heavy by roasting Cornish hens instead of a whole chicken, so everyone can have every part of the bird! No more jealousy! Of course, you can use a chicken if you cannot find Cornish hens easily. Perfect for an outdoor dinner, enjoy these Cornish hens with a fresh glass of rosé wine.
Ingredient list for the Roasted Cornish Hens
- 4 Cornish Hens
- 2 fresh goat cheeses
- 2 bunches of spring onions
- 2 tablespoons honey
