Raw seasoned spatchcocked chicken on a cutting board with fresh herbs, lemon, and garlic.

Sheet Pan Meal: Spatchcocked Game Hen

This is also called Spatchcocking, I don't know WHY, but it is! I put the game hen on my cutting board and with my big chefs knife cut through the breast bone and then flatten it out. You can also ask them to do it for you at the meat counter in your supermarket. I love Cornish Game Hens, they are super juicy.
