Steps:
- 1. Spread moderate amount of butter equally over hens; (I used about a 1/2 tbsp on each.) season with salt and pepper. Tie ends of legs together, if desired, and place on a lightly greased rack in a roasting pan. Bake at 400 degrees for 1 hour or until a meat thermometer inserted into meaty part of thight registers 180 degrees.

In a bowl, blend together a small amount of cornstarch and water, slowly adding remaining cornstarch until mixture thickens. Slowly add cornstarch mixture to marmalade mixture, stirring constantly; add pecans.
- 3. Place hens in a greased jelly roll pan. Pour glaze over chicken and bake for 10 more minutes or until glaze begins to turn golden. Garnish with orange slices. Serves 4 Serve over wild or white rice; or some buttered noodles would be yummy too
