I don't make Cornish hen often, but got a good "two-fer" deal. So one's in the freezer and one is thawing.

I want to try my hand at roasting (as I've only slow cooked them before).

My first attempt will be..... basted with honey, chili powder, and orange juice.

Hopefully the two halves will come out looking like this:

I like them split and roasted. Slathered with a sweet/tangy glaze. pinto Jan 2014 #12

good, but a bit bland. I did the sprig of thyme in each hen, olive oil and 12 cloves of garlic CTyankee Jan 2014 #13
