I decided to go ahead and post another recipe today. Give it a try and enjoy!
                                      Roasted Rock Cornish Game Hens with Citrus and Vegetables  

Preheat oven to 450 deg.
1 Hen per serving.
1/8 cup loosely packed Parsley per hen.
1 Lemon Wedge per Hen.
1 Orange Wedge per Hen.
1 Onion Wedge per Hen.
Seasoned Salt or Seasoned salt Substitute.
Pepper or Lemon Pepper.
Butter and/or Olive Oil for coating the Hens.
2 Carrots per Hen.
2 Potatoes per Hen.
2 Red Onions cut in quarters or smaller for roasting.
Garlic cloves for roasting.
Green Beans Or Squash for roasting. (optional).

Rub the Hens inside and out with Olive Oil and/or Butter.
Season inside and out with the Seasoned Salt and Pepper.
Put the Lemon, Orange, and Onion Wedges inside the Hens.
Place the Hens, breast side down, in a baking dish large enough to fit all the Hens in with room for the Vegetables.
Add the Vegetables.
Cover and bake for 30 minutes.
Uncover and turn the Hens over.
Continue baking until the Hens are golden brown and done.
Thermometer inserted in the thickest part of thy should read 180 deg.

I love Rock Cornish Game Hens. Not only are the delicious, but low in fat and calories. They are yummy and can be very nutritious served with roasted vegetables.
Also a cute size. One Hen per serving!
