Description

In this glazed cornish hens recipe, tender Cornish game hens are basted with a sweet-and-tangy mixture of honey, orange juice, soy sauce, and vinegar.

Ingredients

1 Cornish game hens, halved lengthwise
1/4 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon white vinegar

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2 Place game hen halves with skin sides up into a 9x13-inch roasting pan.
3 Roast hens in the preheated oven for 35 minutes.
4 Stir orange juice, honey, soy sauce, and vinegar together in a small bowl; brush mixture over hens.
5 Roast hens for 5 more minutes and baste again with orange juice mixture. Roast until skin is browned and meat is no longer pink inside, about 10 more minutes.
