The perfect dish for Sunday dinner, Cornish hens slow roast in a Dutch oven

1 Cornish Game Hen per person

1 Small Onion, diced

1 Potato per hen

2 Carrots per hen

1 Stick Butter, melted

Place lid on Dutch Oven.

Place Dutch Oven over 8-10 white hot coals, spread under dutch oven. Place 14-18 hot coals on lid in a circle around the lid.

Bake for 1-1½ hour or until chicken legs come away easily when moved and vegetables are tender.

Serves 2 – 4 depending on how many hens you have and what size dutch oven you decide you use!!!
