roast cornish game hen:

coat with summer savory, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, hint of pepper and cayenne and a light cover of dill weed.

roast in oven, raised if possible (i.e. not touching your collectin pan) 375-400 for 1:30h. Check with meat thermo for whens it ready. while its cookin, every 10-15m , or so, check on it and douse with chicken broth, low salt. this keeps the chicken moist and unfortunately increases the cook time a good half hour. but i promise you the crispy skin will be well worth it.

finally, at around the 10m till mark (or basically when the meat thermo read 170-175 (roughly 10 min till ready) prepare onion and garlic sauteed (med-high heat) in olive oil. after the garlic has been on for `2-3min, until you smell them cooking, and while making sure your oil is hot! add in two handfuls of spinach and keep stirring in wok until you see them soften and turn the dark green color. add on a sprinkle of sugar to caramelize, then the kicker: using the squirt thingy you use to wet the chicken in the oven. yeah, thats right, i don't know what it is called. squirt on to the spinach a decent amount of the chicken grazy that has collected on the pan.

enjoy.
