Here what I have in my repiece box. I am not sure if the same favor that you have. Smile.
Ginger-Orange Glazed Cornish Hens
Ingredients:
1 large onion
1 large orange
2 Cornish game hens
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup orange marmalade
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons water
Cooking Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Coat a roasting pan or rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Place onion and orange rounds in the pan. Place hens, skin-side up, on top; rub with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake the hens until the juices run clear and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of the breast registers 170°F, 30 to 35 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, combine marmalade, ginger, tarragon and cayenne. Remove hens from oven. Set oven to broil and place a rack 6 inches from the heat source. Brush the hens with marmalade mixture. Broil until glaze is lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes.
3. Transfer the hens to a serving platter or plates. Remove all but one orange slice from the pan and place over medium heat. Add water and bring to a simmer, using the orange slice as a spatula to scrape up any browned bits. Pour this pan sauce over the hens.
