Oven Baked Cornish Game Hens

This is whats on our menu for Christmas Dinner, We are feeding 12 so we are doubling the recipe. My sister and I decided we wanted no left overs and lets break traditional dinner rules this year for Christmas. Along with our hens we are having loaded baked potatoes, and a California mix for vegetables, Watergate salad, and biscuits. We will cheat a little on the veggies and use frozen and to have perfect biscuits we are using Bisquick.

I hope every one has the happiest of holidays, and enjoy you family's while you can.
