Roasted Game Hen

This is probably one of my favorite types of poultry to cook. It is really easy to carve up and quick to roast with the addition of basic pantry ingredients and herbs. The meat is usually enough to feed one to two people. In this recipe, I used marsala wine. You could also use a dry white wine or chicken broth. For the poultry seasoning, I used Mrs Dash's Salt-Free Tomato Basil Garlic seasoning blend.

Ingredients

One raw Cornish game hen, carved

1/2 c. marsala wine

1 1/2 tbsp fresh rosemary leaves, chopped

1 1/2 tbsp olive oil

3 garlic cloves, minced

1/2 lemon, juiced and zested

sea salt, to taste

poultry seasoning, to taste

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

1. In an 8" x 8" baking dish, toss chicken with olive oil, garlic, salt, lemon juice and zest.  Place chicken pieces skin-side down. Sprinkle rosemary and poultry seasoning on top. Pour wine on top of chicken. Bake uncovered for 30 to 40 minutes.

2. Serve while hot over rice, pasta, or with crusty bread.
