Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 Cornish game hen, thawed and giblets removed
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ cup frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
¼ cup honey
¼ cup ketchup

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Season hen with salt and black pepper; place in a roasting pan.
  • Roast hen in the preheated oven until partially cooked, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Mix orange juice concentrate, honey, and ketchup in a saucepan; bring to a boil and cook until syrup consistency, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Baste hen with orange glaze; continue roasting, basting every ten minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone reads 180 degrees F (82 degrees C), 35 to 40 more minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

The orange glaze was delicious, but the Cornish hen was a bit overcooked.

The orange glaze adds a nice flavor to the Cornish hen, but I found that the meat was a bit dry.
