INGREDIENTS

  • 1 medium (2-1/2" dia) Onions
  • 2 lb Chicken Meat (Cornish Game Hens)
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 0 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
  • 2 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 0 1/2 tsp Garlic
  • 1 1/2 fl oz Sauvignon Blanc Wine
  • 1 1/2 tbsp Dijon Mustard
  • 1 tsp Thyme

DIRECTIONS

  1. Heat oven to 425°F.
  2. Arrange hens breast side up on a broiler pan. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of the oil over the hens, spreading over entire surface. Sprinkle all over with salt and pepper. Bake 20 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, heat remaining tablespoon oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Cook diced onion 5 minutes, until translucent. Add minced garlic, and cook 1 minute more. Add wine, and boil 30 seconds; stir in mustard and thyme and remove from heat.
  4. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Spoon sauce over breasts of hens (try to keep the chunky part of mixture on top of the birds). Bake 10 to 20 minutes more, until juices inside the thigh joint run clear when pierced with a knife.
