1. Prepare the chili rub and remove 3 tablespoons for seasoning the hens. (Store remaining rub for future use in a sealed plastic bag.) In a small bowl, mix the chili rub, garlic, salt, lime juice, and oil. Rub the mixture all over the hens. Place the hens breast up on a large rack in a roasting pan. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
2. Preheat the oven to 375°. Roast the hens 25 minutes then turn the hens over and roast until golden, about 10 minutes. Once again turn the hens, breast up, and roast 12 to 15 minutes, or until the juices run clear when a thigh is pierced with the tip of a small sharp knife. Serve 1 hen per person.
