How to Make Ginger Garlic Glazed Cornish Game Hens
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Rinse the Cornish game hens thoroughly and pat them completely dry with paper towels.
- Season the hens generously inside and out with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Stuff the hens with your prepared vegetable stuffing (recipe found separately).
- Loosely cover the hens with aluminum foil.
- Bake for 45 minutes.
- While the hens are baking, prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan over low heat, combine 1/2 cup orange marmalade and 2 cloves minced garlic. Stir until the marmalade is melted and smooth.
- Remove the foil from the hens after 45 minutes.
- Brush the hens generously with the ginger-garlic glaze.
- Decorate each hen with 2-3 thin orange slices.
- Continue baking for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear. The skin should be golden brown and crispy.
- Let the hens rest for 5-10 minutes before carving and serving.
