Cornish Game Hens With Roasted Root Vegetables Recipe

Ingredients

  • If brining the bird (recommended)
  • 1/2 cup kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • water
  • 2 Cornish game hens (or you could use a chicken if you wanted to :-) )
  • 1 large or 2 small parsnips, cut into 2 inch chunks
  • 3 - 4 turnips, trimmed and cut into quarters lengthwise
  • 6 slender or 3 large carrots, trimmed and cut into 2 inch pieces if large (if slender, leave whole after trimming)
  • 8 small red potatoes (I found some that were about 2 inches in diameter and they were perfect, if you get bigger ones, go ahead and cut them in halves or quarters)
  • 6 ounces (about 8) cipolline onions, peeled
  • 1 head garlic, peeled (you can buy these already done for you, or do it yourself. Place in the microwave for 15 - 20 seconds to help with peeling them)
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
  • 2 rosemary sprigs
  • 2 sage sprigs (optional if you can't find them)
  • 1 lemon, quartered
  • salt and pepper
  • Dried thyme
  • 3/4 to 1 cup chicken stock (preferably homemade or low-sodium)
