Bake uncovered 1 to 1 1/4 hours, brushing occasionally with remaining butter, until thermometer reads 180° and juices are no longer pink when center of thigh is cut. 4. Remove stuffing from body cavity. Cut hen in half along backbone from tail to neck with kitchen scissors. Serve each hen half with stuffing.
