Apricot Glazed Cornish Hens image

This is a recipe that came with my Oster vertical Rotisserie. We've made this recipe many times and love it. We've also changed up the preserves to other kinds, but this one is still my fav. I usually double the sauce because it's also good over rice.

This recipe is a must-try for any home cook. The apricot glaze gives the hens a beautiful golden color and a delicious sweet and tangy flavor. The hens are cooked to perfection and are fall-off-the-bone tender. I highly recommend this recipe!

I followed the recipe exactly and the hens turned out dry. I'm not sure what went wrong.

A bit too sweet for my taste, but otherwise a solid recipe.
