1. Rinse the hens and pat dry with paper towels. Place skin side up on a work surface. In a small bowl, mix the garlic, salt, oregano, pepper, and olive oil to make a paste. Rub the mixture all over the hens. Let stand about 20 minutes.
2. Preheat the oven to 400°. Line a baking sheet with foil. Place the hens, skin side up, on the baking sheet. Roast in the middle of the oven 35 minutes, or until the skin is lightly browned and juices run clear when thigh is pierced at the thickest point. Prepare the sauce while the hens are roasting. Serve each hen with an equal portion of the sauce.
