For enhanced flavor, consider adding fresh herbs like rosemary or sage to the cavity of the hens along with the margarine.
Browning the hens in a skillet before slow cooking will give them a more appealing color and add depth to the flavor.
If the hens are browning too quickly in the slow cooker, tent them with foil.
