Roast game hens with grapes

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 Rock Cornish game hens
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup Seedless red or green grapes
3 tablespoons Dry sherry or vermouth
½ cup Chicken stock
½ teaspoon Freshly grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon Lemon juice

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Season the game hens inside and out with salt and pepper and stuff the cavities with 4 grapes apiece. Place in a roasting pan and roast in the oven for 1 hour, basting occasionally with the sherry, until the drumsticks move easily and the birds are golden brown. If necessary, add a little water to the pan juices to prevent them from getting too dark. Remove the birds to a warm platter. Skim fat from the pan juices and stir in the chicken stock, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil and add the remaining grapes; let juices reduce slightly. Cut the hens in half and pass the sauce separately. Makes 4 servings.
