Tips:
- Choose fresh, plump Cornish hens for the best flavor and texture.
- Use a sharp knife to score the skin of the hens before roasting. This will help the glaze penetrate and crisp up the skin.
- Make sure to pat the hens dry before glazing them. This will help the glaze adhere to the skin.
- Use a pastry brush to evenly coat the hens with the glaze.
- Roast the hens in a preheated oven until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the hens rest for 10 minutes before carving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
