Asian-Glazed Cornish Hens

Source of Recipe


From "The Coastal Living Cookbook"






List of Ingredients



• 1/4 cup soy sauce
  
• 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
  
• 3 Tbsp honey
  
• 2 Tbsp lemon juice
  
• 1 Tbsp grated fresh ginger
  
• 1 tsp pepper
  
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
  
• 2 (1-1/2-pound) Cornish hens
  
• Garnishes: Sugar snap peas, lemon slices
  






Instructions



1. Combine first 7 ingredients; stir well. Pour half of marinade into a large, heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag, reserving remaining marinade; add Cornish hens. Seal, and marinate hens in refrigerator 1 hour.
   
   
2. Remove hens from marinade; discard marinade. Tie ends of legs together, if desired, and place hens on a lightly greased rack in a roasting pan.
   
   
3. Bake hens at 400º F for 45 to 50 minutes, or until done, basting occasionally with reserved marinade. Cover hens loosely with aluminum foil to prevent overbrowning, if necessary. Remove hens from oven; let stand 5 minutes. Garnish, if desired.
