2 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 sprigs fresh thyme
salt and pepper TT
1 1/2 cups canna oil
2 tbl fresh minced garlic
in a large ziplock bag add garlic and 1/2 herbs with 1 cup canna oil. place hen halves in bag and mix it around till evenly coated. suck as much air out of bag and allow to marinate for 24 hrs.
when ready to cook pre heat oven to 375.
in a large skillet (stainless is best you will see why) heat 2 tbl oil till nice and hot. reduce to med high and place game hen in skin side down and leave it. wait till the skin is crispy to turn. when ready turn and cook for 5 mins. meanwhile take that other 1/2 canna oil some salt, pepper, and the left over herbs and place in a microwavable safe dish for 1 min. remove (caution very hot) and begin brushing the game hen on both sides till oil is gone. if using a stainless just put it in the oven if not then you need to transfer the hen and all juices to a baking dish. cook till internal temp is about 155. let set for 5 mins to finish cooking. serve with broccoli and brown rice pilaf.
