Directions
1 Take out and throw away giblets and neck; cut off any extra fat. Slice hens in half lengthwise. Beginning at neck cavity, loosen skin from breast and drumsticks by inserting fingers, gently separating skin and meat.
2 Mash together mustard, rosemary, salt, pepper, and 3 garlic cloves to make a paste. Massage mixture between skin and meat.
3 Lay hens, meaty side up on a cooking spray coated broiler pan and refrigerate 30 minutes.
4 Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
5 Bake 30 minutes or until a thermometer reads at least 165 degrees F. Move hens to a warm place.
6 Arrange a resealable plastic bag in a 2-cup glass measuring cup. Spoon pan drippings into bag; let rest 10 minutes (fat will rise to the top). Seal bag; cut off 1 bottom corner of bag. Drain drippings into a nonstick skillet, stopping before fat layer reaches opening; throw away fat.
7 Pour wine into pan and let boil over medium-high heat. Cook 3 minutes or until liquid is reduced to 1/4 cup. Mix in broth, lemon juice, honey, and 2 garlic cloves. Continue cooking until liquid is reduced to 1/4 cup, about 2 minutes. Spoon sauce over top of hens.
Additional Information
The sauce works well for chickens, but the hens are great for individual servings.
