Roasted Game Hens

Roasted Game Hens
A family Thanksgiving favorite.  Roasted Game Hens are just small chickens, but roasted gives everyone a big portion of the roasted salty crusty skin.  Thanks to my wife Lee who let me steal her recipe for this post.
4 game hens
1 stick melted butter
Garlic powder
Dried Italian Seasoning
Kosher Salt
Black Pepper
1.   Thaw four game hens and melt one stick salted butter
2.   Paint one bird at a time with butter, then season with garlic, salt, pepper and Italian Seasoning
3.   Truss each bird and place on cookie sheet
4.   Bake in 350 degree oven for approx.. 1 hour and baste with the drippings

5.   Roast another hour until the bones pull easily from the meat

6.   Let sit approx. 15 minutes then serve.
