Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 Cornish game hens (about 1 pound each), split in 1/2 lengthwise
Vegetable oil, as needed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons Asian sesame oil
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon minced, peeled fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2/3 cup apricot jam
Toasted sesame seeds, as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Arrange the hens skin-side up on a rack in a roasting pan. Brush the hens with oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast the hens until browned, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, garlic, ginger, and apricot jam to make a smooth glaze.
  • Remove the hens from the oven, and spoon the glaze over each hen half to coat well. Continue roasting the hens, basting with the glaze occasionally, until well browned, about 10 minutes, more.
  • Divide the hens among plates and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

This recipe was a total disaster. The Cornish hens were undercooked, and the glaze was too sweet. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my Cornish hens turned out dry and overcooked. I think I would have been better off cooking them at a lower temperature for a longer period of time.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The apricot-ginger glaze was tasty, but the Cornish hens were a bit dry. I think I would have preferred to use a different type of glaze.

The Cornish hens were cooked beautifully, but the apricot-ginger glaze was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less apricot preserves next time.
