Easy Roasted Cornish Hens
Ingredients List
-
4 Cornish game hens
-
2 limes, halved
-
2 teaspoons olive oil
-
¼ teaspoon chili powder
-
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
-
kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
-
Squeeze the juice of a lime over each hen. Drizzle with olive oil, then season with chili powder, cumin, kosher salt, and black pepper. Arrange the hens on a rack inside a shallow roasting pan.
-
Roast the hens in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
-
Lower the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
-
Continue roasting until the hens are cooked through, with clear juices and no pink near the bone, about 30 more minutes. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C) when measured at the thickest part of the thigh. Remove from the oven, cover loosely with aluminum foil, and let the hens rest for 10 minutes before carving.
