Time 9h40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
2 tablespoons honey
4 teaspoons lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
4 Cornish hens
kitchen twine

Steps:

  • Combine soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, honey, lemon juice, garlic, black pepper, and ginger in a large resealable plastic bag. Add Cornish hens. Seal and marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a metal rack and set inside a roasting pan.
  • Transfer hens from the plastic bag to a flat work surface; tie legs together with kitchen twine. Place hens on the prepared rack.
  • Pour marinade into a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Remove from heat.
  • Roast hens in the preheated oven, basting occasionally with marinade, until juices run clear, about 1 hour. Cover loosely with aluminum foil. Continue roasting until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 15 minute more.
  • Cover hens with aluminum foil. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit. The hens are always juicy and flavorful, and the glaze is always a perfect balance of sweet and savory.

I'm always looking for new ways to cook Cornish hens, and this recipe didn't disappoint. The hens were moist and flavorful, and the glaze was finger-licking good.

I'm allergic to soy sauce, so I used tamari instead. It worked great!

The glaze was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the hens were cooked well.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my hens were a little dry. The glaze was good, but I think I would try a different recipe next time.

This Asian-glazed Cornish hens recipe was a hit at my dinner party! The hens were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, and the glaze was flavorful and tangy. I will definitely be making this dish again soon.
