Categories     Poultry

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 rock cornish game hens, rinsed and patted dry
coarse salt
coarse black pepper
1 cup orange juice concentrate, thawed
1 cup aged balsamic vinegar
3 -4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
7 -8 stems fresh rosemary, leaves chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°.
  • Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with foil; set a baking rack in each pan.
  • Using poultry shears or a sharp chef's knife, cut along both sides of each hen's backbone and discard.
  • Open the birds up and turn skin side up, pressing lightly on the breastbones to flatten them a bit.
  • Arrange 3 hens on each baking rack, skin side up, and season liberally with salt and pepper.
  • Mix the orange juice concentrate, balsamic vinegar, and oil together; pour evenly over the hens, and sprinkle with rosemary.
  • Roast hens for 15 minutes at 425°, then decrease heat to 375° and roast for 30 minutes more, OR until the juices run clear (I'd check doneness with an instant read thermometer).
  • Let the hens rest for 5 minutes before serving.

I tried this recipe and it was a disaster. The hens were undercooked and the glaze was burnt. I would not recommend this recipe.

This recipe was a disappointment. The hens were dry and the glaze was too sweet. I would not recommend this recipe.

I'm not a big fan of Cornish hens, but this recipe changed my mind. The hens were moist and flavorful, and the glaze was delicious. I will definitely be making this again.

This is a great recipe for a special occasion. The hens look so elegant on the plate, and they taste even better than they look. I always get rave reviews when I make this dish.

I love this recipe! The hens are always moist and flavorful, and the glaze is to die for. I usually serve this dish with roasted vegetables and mashed potatoes.
