Cornish Hens with Scallion Butter and Lime Recipe

Heat the oven to 450 degrees F. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of the butter with the oregano, cumin, ¼ teaspoon of the salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper.

Rub the mixture over the skin of the hens and arrange them, skin-side up, on a baking sheet. Roast in the upper third of the oven for about 20 minutes until golden and cooked through.

Meanwhile, combine the remaining butter with the scallion, the remaining salt, and ⅛ teaspoon pepper. When the hens are roasted, top with the scallion butter.

Serve with lime wedges. Enjoy!
