How to Make A Couple Of Tipsy Chicks
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Rinse two Cornish hens and pat completely dry with paper towels.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup fresh lime juice, 1/4 cup dark rum, 1/4 cup honey, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Place Cornish hens in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour marinade over hens, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Seal bag and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, turning occasionally.
- Remove hens from bag and place in a baking dish. Pour remaining marinade over the hens.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and brush it all over the hens.
- Loosely cover the legs with foil to prevent burning.
- Roast for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 175-180°F (79-82°C).
- Remove from oven and let rest, covered with foil, for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh lime wedges and cilantro (optional).
