1/2 tsp. celery seeds
1/2 tsp. poultry seasoning
1/2 tsp. paprika
1/2 tsp. dried whole basil

Remove giblets from hens; reserve for other uses. Rinse hens with cold water and pat dry. Split each hen lengthwise using an electric knife. Place the hens, cavity side up, on a rack in a shallow roasting pan.

Pour 1 1/2 cups wine over hens in pan. Combine seasonings; sprinkle half of seasoning mixture over cavities of hens. Cover and marinate in refrigerator 2 hours.

Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Remove from oven and turn hens breast side up. Pour 1/2 cup wine over hens; sprinkle with remaining seasoning mixture. Bake an additional 30 minutes, basting every 10 minutes with wine mixture in pan. Yield: 8 servings (about 157 calories per serving).
