Directions
Preheat oven to 350℉ (180℃).
Rinse the game hens and pat them dry.
Season the cavities with salt and pepper and place a quarter lemon and a quarter onion in each cavity.
Place the birds, breast side up, in a shallow roasting pan.
Dot with butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Pour the white wine into the pan. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until the juices run clear when the hen is pierced in the thickest part of the thigh.
Remove from the oven and serve with the pan juices.
