1. Remove the giblets from the hens rinse under cold water and pat dry. Using a long, sharp knife, split each hen lengthwise. You may also buy precut hens.
2. Place the hens, cavity side up, on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Pour 1-1/2 cups of the wine over the hens set aside.
3. In a shallow bowl, combine the garlic, onion powder, celery seeds, poultry seasoning, paprika, basil, and pepper. Sprinkle half the combined seasonings over the cavity of each split half. Cover and refrigerate. Allow the hens to marinate for 2 to 3 hours.
4. Bake the hens uncovered at 350°F for 1 hour. Remove from oven, turn breast side up, pour remaining 1/2 cup wine over the top, and sprinkle with remaining seasonings.
5. Continue to bake for an additional 25 to 30 minutes, basting every 10 minutes until hens are done. Transfer to a serving platter and serve hot.
