- 2 thyme fresh stems
- 3 Tablespoon olive oil divided

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.

- Remove the hens from the packaging, and pat dry with paper towels.
- Tie the legs of the hens together using kitchen twine.
- Rub 1 tablespoon of olive oil on each hen. Using your hands, rub generously all over the hen.
- In a small bowl, combine the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, dried herbs, and salt and pepper. Sprinkle liberally all over the hens.
- Place the hens on top of the lemons and onions in the prepared dish.
- Bake for about 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reads 165°F. If the skin of the hens starts to darken, you can cover them with foil.
- Allow the hens to rest for 5 minutes before serving. To serve, cut hens in half. Each hen will serve 2 people. Serve with pan drippings, delicious sides, and fresh lemon and herbs to garnish.
