I often rub the hen, inside and out, with butter, salt, pepper, and
crumbled dried rosemary or chopped fresh rosemary, and put a small onion
(or piece) in the cavity.

If you'd prefer a sweet glaze, melted orange marmalade and butter is a
nice option. In that case, just use butter, salt, and pepper to rub the
hen - no herbs.
