How to Make Hawaiian Cornish Hens
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the stuffing (see recipe below) and set aside.
- Rinse and thoroughly pat dry two Cornish hens (approximately 1.5 lbs each).
- Season hens generously inside and out with salt and pepper.
- Loosely stuff each hen with the prepared stuffing, being careful not to overfill.
- In a small bowl, whisk together all glaze ingredients (see recipe below).
- Brush hens generously with the Hawaiian glaze.
- Place hens in a roasting pan and roast at 400°F (200°C) for 45-50 minutes, basting frequently with pan juices and glaze.
- Turn hens halfway through to ensure even browning.
- Add 1 ½ cups of chicken broth to the roasting pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
- Add any remaining glaze to the pan juices.
- Baste hens again with the pan juices and glaze.
- Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (160°C). Continue roasting for approximately 30 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 165°F (74°C) and juices run clear.
