12. I like them split and roasted. Slathered with a sweet/tangy glaze.

Split and pat dry the hen. Salt and pepper. Set aside.

Apricot jam, plum jam, a little hot sauce, shredded ginger & garlic, brown sugar, white vinegar. Heat, stir and add enough canola oil to to get a spreadable consistency.

Adjust to your taste and brush over both sides of the split hen. Roasts pretty quick and has a nice browned caramelized coating.

How did your New Year's dish come out?
