How to Make Cornish Game Hens Oriental Curried
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Rinse Cornish hens under cold water until water runs clear. Pat dry with paper towels.
- Place hens in a 9x13 inch baking dish or a small roasting pan.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup undiluted orange juice concentrate, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 2 tablespoons honey, and 1 tablespoon curry powder until honey dissolves.
- Gently loosen the skin from the breast of each hen using your thumb.
- Pour 2 tablespoons of the soy mixture under the skin of each breast.
- Drizzle 1/2 tablespoon of the soy mixture into the cavity of each hen.
- Pour the remaining soy mixture over the hens and rub evenly over the skins.
- Tightly cover the pan with foil.
- Roast in the center of the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
- Remove from oven and baste hens with the pan juices.
- Stir 1/2 cup of water into the pan juices to prevent burning.
- Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
- Return hens to the oven, uncovered, and continue to roast for 20-25 minutes, basting every 10 minutes with the pan juices, until a rich glaze forms and a meat thermometer inserted into the thigh registers 170°F (77°C).
- Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
- Serve hens on individual plates, spooning the pan juices over the top.
