First off, Mark, roasting pans are cheap. Why don’t you buy one?

If not, a glass baking dish lined with foil, then sprayed with a quick
release spray like Pam or Crisco will work just fine. You don’t really need
a rack. Elevate the hens on a bed of celery sticks, carrot sticks, and
onions.

Seasoning? That opens up a lot of choices. You can go completely savory by
adding onions and garlic cloves to the cavity, along with rubbing the skin
with butter and poultry seasoning. Lemon slices are good too, slipped under
the skin.

You could also make a stuffing, sweet or savory. They could also be glazed
with a fruit glace like orange or cherry.
