Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons orange juice
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
3 cups cooked brown or white rice
1/4 cup finely chopped crystallized ginger
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or 1 tablespoon parsley flakes
1 teaspoon chopped fresh or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1 tablespoon orange juice
3 Rock Cornish hens (about 1 1/2 pounds each)
1 to 2 tablespoons orange juice

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°. Heat 2 tablespoons orange juice to boiling in 2 1/2-quart saucepan over medium heat. Cook onion in orange juice, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender. Stir in rice, ginger, parsley, thyme and 1 tablespoon orange juice.

Bake uncovered 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes, brushing with some of remaining orange juice every 30 minutes, until thermometer reads 180° and juice of hens is no longer pink when center of thigh is cut.
