- Preheat the oven to 500 degrees and position the oven rack in the center of the oven.
- Rinse hens inside and out with cool water and pat dry with paper towels. Tuck wing tips under the hens, then place them, breast-side up, in a large roasting pan, alternating directions of hens so which they fit well in the pan. Rub the hens with 1/2 Tbsp. each of the butter. Season the hens inside and out with salt and pepper. Place an orange slice inside the cavity of each bird. Roast hens for 10 min, then move them slightly in the pan to prevent them from sticking on the bottom. Continue to roast the hens till they are golden and the juices run clear, about 10 min longer.
- Remove the pan from the oven and transfer hens to a serving platter. Cover loosely with aluminum foil while you prepare the sauce.
- Pour off any excess fat in the bottom of the roasting pan. Place the roasting pan on the stovetop over high heat. Deglaze the pan with the white wine, scraping the bottom of the roasting pan with a wooden spoon. When the wine has almost evaporated, add in the orange juice and allow to reduce by half. Add in the chicken stock and cook till sauce has thickened sufficient to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from the heat, stir in the remaining 2 Tbsp. of butter, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve immediately with some of the Bourbon Mashed Sweet Potatoes.
