Season the game hens
Place the game hens breast-side up on the June Roasting Rack set in the June Pan. Rub or brush the skin all with the olive oil, then sprinkle them all over with the salt and pepper, ensuring all sides are seasoned.

Insert the June Food Thermometer
Horizontally insert the June Food Thermometer into the center of the breast of the larger hen, avoiding any bones.

Roast the game hens
Transfer the June Pan to the bottom shelf of the June Oven and insert the June Food Thermometer into the jack. Roast the game hens until they are cooked through and the skin is golden brown and crispy, about 45 minutes. June will notify you when the game hens are ready.

Serve the game hens
With protected hands, unplug the June Food Thermometer from the jack. Remove the June Pan from the June Oven and set on a cooling rack. Transfer the game hens to a plate or chopping board and rest 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with flaky sea salt if desired.
