Recipe - Roasted Game Hens With Asian Spice Rub

6 Cornish game hens
Salt and pepper
1 One half Lemons, cut into 6 quarters
1 One half small Onions, cut into 6 quarters
6 tablespoon Butter, softened
1 2inch knob fresh ginger,
minced
One fourth cup Asian fivespice powder
One half cup White wine

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Rinse the game hens and pat them dry. Season
the cavities with salt and pepper and place a quarter lemon and a quarter
onion in each cavity. In a small bowl, combine the butter, ginger and
fivespice powder. Rub the fivespice mixture onto the hens. Place the birds,
breast side up, in a shallow roasting pan. Pour the white wine into the
pan. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until the juices run clear when the hen
is pierced in the thickest part of the thigh. Remove from the oven and
serve with the pan juices spooned over the hens. Yield: 6 servings
