Zubereitung von Maple Orange Cornish Hens

  1. In a small saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup maple syrup, 1/4 cup orange juice, 1/4 cup dry white wine, and 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
  3. Reduce heat and simmer for 3-5 minutes, or until the glaze has slightly thickened.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  5. Meanwhile, prepare the Cornish hens: Cut off the wing tips.
  6. Using kitchen shears or a sharp knife, cut along each side of the backbone.
  7. Remove and discard the backbone.
  8. Cut through the breastbone to separate the hen into two halves.
  9. Trim off any excess fat and skin.
  10. Gently loosen the skin from each half of the hen, leaving the skin attached at the back.
  11. Starting at the breast, carefully ease strips of orange zest (from about 1 orange) under the skin.
  12. Place the hens, skin-side up, on a foil-lined baking sheet.
  13. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  14. Brush the hens with 1/3 of the cooled glaze.
  15. Roast in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for 45 minutes, brushing with glaze twice more during cooking, until the hens are browned and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork.
  16. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  17. Arrange the hens on a serving platter. Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs and orange slices, if desired.
