Lemon Herb Hen

I always like to scan the meat and poultry section at the grocery store to see what deals they have. Lately, I have been finding great deals on Hen's. I guess they are trying to get rid of all the leftover frozen birds from Thanksgiving and Christmas.

On a side note...What is a Hen? Why wouldn't they just call it a Chicken? I was a little confused when Sam tried to explain it to me. Chickens are male and female. Hens are adult female birds. Still a little confused...

Lemon Herb HEN



Ingredients:

1 (about 3-5 lb) Hen

2 Lemons

2 Onions

1/2 C. Olive Oil

1 tbsp. Vinegar

1 tbsp. Butter

Spices (Oregano, Garlic Powder, Parsley, Minced Garlic, S & P)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Wash hen, pull out insides and pat dry. I cook with a cast iron skillet but any oven safe pot will work. Place hen in cast iron skillet. Chop lemons and onions and stuff hen. Lay any leftovers around hen. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, butter, vinegar and spices. With a basting brush, cover entire hen. Bake for 1 1/2 hours. Let cool before carving. Enjoy!
