How to Make Easy Cornish Game Hens Teriyaki
- Whisk together the teriyaki sauce ingredients: 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup honey, 2 tablespoons mirin, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, and 1 teaspoon grated ginger in a medium bowl.
- Place the Cornish game hens in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the hens, ensuring they are fully coated. Marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator, turning occasionally.
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Place the marinated hens in a baking dish. Bake for 1 hour, basting with the marinade every 20 minutes.
- After 1 hour, carefully check the internal temperature of the hens. It should reach 165°F (74°C). If not cooked through, continue baking in 15-minute intervals until the desired temperature is reached.
- Let the hens rest for 5-10 minutes before cutting them in half and serving. Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions (optional).
