HERBED CORNISH HENS
The refreshing sauce Mom makes with thyme, lemon juice and butter gives these hens savory flavor throughout. The seasonings in this recipe also work great on a whole roasted chicken. Either way, the result is a mouthwatering feast.-Maria Costello, Monroe, North Carolina

- Create brine by following directions on the bag and letting the mixture cool before adding in your Cornish hens. The Spice Hunter has a bag that comes with the brine but brining in large bowls is an option. Brine for no more than 4 hours.
- While the hens are brining, create the clarified butter by melting the two sticks (16 tbsp) of unsalted butter over medium-low heat with all the herbs in a medium-sized saucepan. It will begin steaming (releasing the water) and foam will come to the top after about 4 minutes.
- Skim the solids off of the top and continue to let the butter cook until the butter is no longer bubbling and steaming. Pour the butter and herbs into a heat-safe container and leave at room temperature.
- For the butter mix that will be going under the skin of your Cornish hens, use a fork to mix the butter and herbs in a medium-sized bowl and keep them at room temperature until needed.
