Beyond delicious! This was the most amazing hen I ever ate. We were making yummy noises and could not eat fast enough! We basted often and the skin was crisp, meat juicy and full of flavor. Bacon stayed on and added a nice texture and flavor. We will make this often! We added a little smoked paprika which gave a golden reddish color to the skin. Thank you Sunny!!!

Cornish hens were delicious and the recipe was easy to follow. When I prepare the recipe next time I will brine the hens, it was a little too dry for me........ but delicious.

Found this to be really easy and the flavors really came together in a great way. Paired it with a nice Mendoza Chardonnay and the butter and citrus of the two really complemented each other.

Really loved this recipe! it wasn't difficult to prepare, even having to roast hens one at a time. Kitchen did become smokey, but thanks to previous reviews i did ventilate before putting hens in the oven. thanks to the video i learned how to butterfly poultry. Hens turned out delicious! I will use this recipe again.

I made this for my husband and both of us raved on how good these hens are. Crispy skin and moist and tender inside. Due to limited space and utinsils, I had to brown them one at a time, but it didn't cause a problem. Thanks Sunny! I will definitely make them again. And by the way, due to this recipe I learned how to butterfly poultry and have done chickens and cornish hens to put on the BBQ. Sure beats keeping track of separate pieces.

This was REALLY, REALLY, REALLY good. The flavor was perfect! Be sure to vent the kitchen, because it can get smoky. My smoke alarm went off several times, but opening a window quickly solved this problem. I basted this well throughout the baking process using a cast iron pan to both saute and use in the oven. In my oven, I had to cook it a bit a longer for doneness, but it was delicious, moist and flavorful. Really a great way to cook cornish hens.

I used regular chicken and skipped the bacon. The skin was so tasty and crispy. Love this recipe. :0

This dish came out fantastic, I was thinking that the hen would be over cooked by first pan frying and then spending 25 minutes in the oven. I'm happy to say that my thinking was flawed, the meat was moist and tender. I used the pan juices on some leftover wild rice dressing from Thanksgiving. The lemon sage butter mix was just what was needed for my dressing.
