I followed the recipe exactly, but my game hens didn't turn out as well as I expected. The skin was tough and the meat was dry.

These game hens were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll try cooking them at a lower temperature next time.

I'm not a huge fan of game meat, but these game hens were surprisingly good. The marinade really helped to tenderize the meat.
