Recipe Essentials

• Prep Time: 10 minutes

• Cook Time: 1 hour 15 minutes

• Serves: 2

• Skill Level: Intermediate

Ingredients

• 2 Cornish hens

• 12 Sage leaves

• 1/2 Lemon

• 2 tbsp Cannabutter, melted

• 1 tbsp Cannaoil

• 4 cloves Garlic, minced

• 1 tbsp Lemon juice

• 1 tsp Salt

• 1/4 tsp Ground pepper

Step-by-Step Directions

1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 340°F (170°C).

2. Seasoning Under the Skin: Carefully separate the skin from the breast meat on each hen and insert the sage leaves underneath for maximum flavor absorption.

3. Stuff & Truss: Slice the lemon half into smaller pieces and place them into the cavity of each hen. Tie the legs of the hens together with kitchen twine to ensure even cooking. Place the hens into a roasting pan.

4. Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted cannabutter, cannaoil, minced garlic, and lemon juice.

5. Initial Roast: Spoon half of the butter and oil mixture equally over the hens. Season with salt and pepper. Bake for 30 minutes.

6. Baste: Remove the hens from the oven and brush them with the remaining cannabutter and oil mixture.

7. Final Roast: Bake for an additional 45 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the hen reads 170°F (75°C).

8. Rest & Serve: Remove the hens from the oven and allow them to rest for 10 minutes before transferring to a serving platter. Drizzle with the pan drippings and serve your cannabis edibles immediately.

Pro-Tips for Success

• The Stoner Strategies Secret: Tying the legs of the hens (trussing) is essential for this edibles recipe. It prevents the wings and legs from burning and ensures the meat cooks evenly.

• Crispy Skin: If you want the skin extra crispy, pat the hens dry with paper towels before you separate the skin and apply the seasonings. Moisture is the enemy of a golden, crispy roast.

• Flavor Depth: Those pan drippings are liquid gold. Be sure to scrape the bottom of the pan to capture all the caramelized garlic and butter flavors to drizzle over your cannabis edibles.
