Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degree Fahrenheit.
- Rub the insides of Cornish hens with salt and pepper and 3 minced garlic cloves.
- In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons olive oil, paprika, chili powder, cumin, remaining minced garlic, 1/4 cup chicken stock and stir well to combine. Use 2/3 of this mixture to rub all over the outside of Cornish hens. Sprinkle the desired amount of salt over the outside of the hens. Sprinkle a very small amount of additional paprika over the hens (for color).
- Toss carrots, onions, and sweet potatoes in the remaining 1/3 of the mixture to coat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Transfer vegetables to the large roasting pan. Place hens breast sides up on top of vegetables. Add a little bit of chicken stock on the bottom of the pan to prevent vegetables from burning.
- Roast Cornish hens at 425 Fahrenheit for 30-35 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 Fahrenheit. Combine 1/2 cup of chicken stop and 1/2 cup of white wine and pour the mixture over the hens and into the bottom of the roasting pan. Continue roasting at 350 degrees F for 15-20 more minutes, basting hens with pan juices, until hen juices run clear.
- Transfer hens and vegetables to a platter. Make sure to pour juices from the hen cavities into a roasting pan. Cover hens with foil. Transfer the sauce from the roasting pan into a smaller saucepan and boil it down a little bit to thicken, if desired. You can also dissolve a little bit of cornstarch in water and add it to the boiling sauce to thicken it. After hens sit under the foil, pour juices from rested hens back into the sauce you just made. If desired, add more chicken stock to the thickened sauce.
- Serve Cornish hens whole or cut in half.

CORNISH HENS AND VEGETABLES IN FOIL PACKETS
This makes the most moist and delicious cornish hens I've ever tasted. It's from 365 Ways to Cook Chicken. The beauty of this dish is threefold. First of all. the individual packets can be prepared hours before dinner and refrigerated. Secondly, for those on a low-fat diet, this method of cooking is ideal: simply reduce the butter to 1 teaspoon a serving. And last but not least, the bright yellow squash, orange carrots and red-skinned potatoes make a lovely presentation. A mandolin or food processor with slicing blade makes for a quicker prep.
