Instructions
Place your hens in the center of your baking pan ensuring that your hens are not touching. Pat the hens dry with a paper towel. Then, rub the softened butter over each hen.
In a small bowl mix together your seasonings to make a rub for your hens. Sprinkle all the seasoning over the hens to cover the entire hen.
Combine all your chopped vegetables together in a bowl. Cover with the melted butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper if desired. Next, spread the vegetables around the hens in your baking pan.
Cover your baking pan with foil and bake the hens at 190°C/375°F for 55-60 minutes or until the internal temperature of your hens is 70°C/165°F. The foil should be removed from the hens during the last 15 minutes of cooking to allow the skin to crisp.
Finally, remove the hens and let the hens rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow the juices in the hens to settle. Enjoy!
