Prosciutto Wrapped Cornish Hens

Oh my, this is truly delicious folks. The prosciutto was a tad bit crispy but yet delish!!! Next time I make this I will cover the hens for the first 30 minutes of baking and then uncover them for the remainder cooking time so the prosciutto won't over cook. So make sure you cover the hens...

Ingredients:

3 Cornish hens
Salt & pepper, to taste
Zest of a lemon
3 Tbsps honey
1/2 stick of butter
1 pk 5.29 oz of prosciutto

Preheat oven 400 degrees. Clean hens and pat dry and season w. salt & pepper. Mix lemon zest, honey and melted butter. Brush on honey mixture. Wrap prosciutto around each hen, secure prosciutto with toothpicks, and brush w. honey mixture again.
Cover hens with foil for the first 30 minutes of cooking, remove from oven, remove foil and brush with honey mixture again then return to oven and bake for 15 more minutes.
Enjoy!
