Ingredients
- 2 Cornish Hens
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- Remove anything from the cavity of the Cornish hens. Place the Cornish hens in a casserole dish and coat with the avocado oil. Combine the seasonings in a small bowl and season all sides of each hen.
- Place your Cornish Hens into already preheated oven and cook until internal temperature reaches 165F. This should take 55 minutes to an hour. Check the temperature of the hen by inserting the meat thermometer probe between the leg and breast.
Notes
- Throw some root vegetables around the Cornish hens before roasting for the most amazing side dish!
- If you want to use olive oil instead of avocado oil, I would reduce the cooking temperature to 375F
