Ingredients

6 servings
  • 1 small onion, (finely chopped)
  • 1 medium garlic clove, (minced)
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • ½ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 4 teaspoons cornstarch
  • Three 1 to 2 pound Cornish game hens, (split lengthwise)
  • 1 medium orange, (cut into 6 wedges)
  • orange slices, (for garnish)

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 375℉.

  2. Spray a small saucepan with nonstick spray coating. For sauce, cook onion and garlic in the saucepan until onion is tender.

  3. In a small bowl, stir together chicken broth, orange zest, orange juice, honey and cornstarch. Stir into onion mixture in saucepan. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 2 minutes more, then remove from the heat.

  4. Rinse hen halves and pat dry. In a shallow roasting pan place each hen half atop one orange wedge. Baste with some of the sauce.

  5. Roast hens for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until tender and no longer pink. Baste hen halves with sauce after 30 minutes.

  6. Transfer hen halves to a serving platter. If necessary, reheat remaining sauce and serve with hen halves. If desired, garnish with orange slices.
