Prepare the hens by seasoning the interior body cavity with salt and pepper. Spoon liberal spoonfuls of the wild rice mixture into the hens. Divide the Chavrie® logs into 4 slices. Insert one slice of Chavrie® log into each hen. Roast hens 45 minutes to 1 hour or until an instant reading thermometer inserted in thickest part registers 170 degrees. Allow hens to rest.
