A delightful recipe for roasted game hens infused with a rich herb butter and white wine sauce, perfect for a special dinner.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Always preheat your oven to ensure even cooking.
Season each game hen generously with salt, ensuring even coverage.
Seasoning the hens well enhances their natural flavors.
Place the game hens on a shallow baking pan, ensuring they are spaced apart.
Spacing the hens allows for even cooking and browning.
In a mixing bowl, combine the butter, white wine, and tarragon until well mixed.
Ensure the butter is softened for easier mixing.
Brush each hen with a quarter of the herb butter mixture.
Use a basting brush for even application.
Bake the hens in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Check the hens halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Brush the hens with half of the remaining herb butter mixture and continue baking for another 25 minutes.
Basting the hens keeps them moist and flavorful.
Remove the hens from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring tender meat.
