Zubereitung von Orange Glazed Game Hens

**Marinate the Hens:** In a bowl, whisk together the marinade ingredients (see below). Place the game hens in a large baking dish, ensuring they are coated evenly with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 24 hours, turning halfway through.
**Prepare the Glaze:** Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Remove the hens from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking. In a heavy small saucepan, bring the reserved marinade to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the glaze has reduced to 3/4 cup (about 12 minutes), stirring occasionally.
**Roast the Hens:** Transfer the game hens to a shallow baking dish. Brush both sides generously with the reduced orange glaze. Arrange the hens skin-side up in the pan.
**Initial Roast:** Roast for 5 minutes.
**First Baste:** Baste the hens with the remaining glaze.
**Second Roast:** Continue roasting for 10 minutes.
**Reduce Heat & Baste:** Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C). Baste the hens again with the glaze.
**Final Roast:** Roast for another 10 minutes. Sprinkle generously with sesame seeds.
**Cook to Perfection:** Continue roasting for 10-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the thigh reaches 165°F (74°C). Baste frequently during the last 10-20 minutes to maintain a beautiful glaze.
**Rest & Serve:** Remove from oven and let the game hens rest for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
