Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a small mixing bowl, stir together salt, lemon pepper, dried basil and poultry seasoning. Rub olive oil all over the hens and season each with the salt mixture. Place the hens on a baking sheet pan with plenty of space between them. You may need to use 2 pans. Loosely stuff the cavities of each hen with some green bell pepper, celery and onion. Roast the hens in the preheated oven for about 1 hour or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 165 degrees F and the juices run clear. Remove the hens from the oven, loosely tent with foil and let rest 10 minutes before carving or serving.

- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Heat 4 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over high heat. Sprinkle game hens lightly with salt and pepper. Add 3 hen halves to skillet and cook until brown, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer hens to heavy 18x12x1-inch baking sheet. Repeat with remaining hens.

Transfer baking sheet to oven and roast hens until cooked through, about 40 minutes. Meanwhile, add broth and 1/2 cup Calvados to reserved skillet and bring to boil (mixture may ignite). Boil until reduced to 1 1/4 cups, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. Set sauce aside. Transfer hens, apples, and shallots to platter. Tent with foil.

Add cream, apple juice mixture, cayenne, and 1/2 cup Calvados; simmer until reduced to sauce consistency, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes.

ROASTED CORNISH GAME HENS
This is an easy weeknight dinner that will feed 4. I just love what rosemary, thyme, and Dijon do to these delectable little birds. It's great served over baked sweet potatoes or fingerlings.

CORNISH GAME HENS WITH MADEIRA AND CREAM SAUCE
From Simca's Cuisine. This recipe says it serves 6 and it calls for 3 hens. I like to serve 1 hen per person so for me this recipe would serve only 3. I haven't tried this yet but I love the way it sounds and the preperation is simple.

ROAST CORNISH HENS WITH ROSEMARY, POTATOES, LEMONS & WINE
This is the best and easiest chicken dish in Italy or anywhere. If you really wish to impress your guests at a dinner party, serve this dish. Even if you can't boil water, you will be able to make this classic, since everything is simply tossed with olive oil, placed in a pan, and roasted. The potatoes are suffused with oil and fresh rosemary, the chicken is crisp and juicy, and the sauce in the pan is perfect for a last crust of bread. From 'Rome, at Home' by Suzanne Dunaway.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Brush the chicken or game hens liberally with some of the olive oil and season with salt and pepper inside and out. Sprinkle with paprika.
- Place the lemon quarters in the cavity, giving each (lemon) a little squeeze to release the oil from the skins.
- Season the potatoes with salt and pepper and toss them with the rest of the olive oil and the rosemary leaves. Spread them around the chicken in a large baking pan.
- Fold a piece of aluminum foil double into a rectangle about the size of the chicken. Grease it down the middle, making a little tent, and lay the foil loosely over the breast.
- Roast the chicken for 45 minutes, basting 2 to 3 times with the fat in the pan.
- Add the wine (it will quickly evaporate in the hot oven, leaving a lovely flavor in the potatoes), remove the foil, and cook for 15 to 20 more minutes.
- If the breast is not browned enough, turn on the broiler for a few seconds to crisp the skin, but watch carefully so as not to burn your masterpiece.
- Carve the large chicken or split the game hens and serve with the potatoes and the pan juices poured over the chicken.
