Bacon Covered Cornish Game Hens

So I tried this recipe from http://www.crockpot365.blogspot.com/ and the hens were delicious! I made mashed potatoes with a little cream cheese and a little sour cream and topped them with gravy made from the juices the hens left. The gravy had a really nice herb flavor. We'll make these again. They were great.



--2 cornish game hens, thawed

--8 slices of bacon

--1 tsp kosher salt

--1 tsp thyme

--1 tsp rosemary

Use a 6 quart crockpot. In a small bowl, mix your dry spices. Rub the spice mixture all over the birds, inside and out. Lower the birds into the crockpot. Take your strips of bacon, and wrap two one way and one the other on each bird. See if you can tuck an end inside of the cavity.Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 4-5. Discard the bacon before serving.
