      I hate this recipe because it is so good I ate the whole thing! I simply could not pass up on the wonderful glazed skin , I even had trouble leaving the bones! The hen was fall off the bones tender & moist The flavor was heaven;y. I cut the recipe in half doing only 1 hen for the two of us and it worked perfectly. The only change I made was to cook the hen for 25 minutes without the glaze and then basted the hen with the glaze and continued baking for a further 25 minutes. Chuck this is a winner Thanks for sharing

      Delicious! I made it for Xmas dinner. I did change it slightly....I sprinkled the salt and pepper directly onto the hens and marinated it in the butter/paprika/orange juice/ honey sauce for 12 hours. Then I basted it with extra sauce I made on the side, in which I added basil and Rosemary, every 10 minutes when baking. easy and delicious!

      This is a great recipe!! So easy to do, I love it! I had to sub in Emeril's Original Essence instead of chili powder. It was very good, my wife even liked it and she doesn't like anything I make, lol!! Thanks again for sharing!

      I would recommend adding 2-3 more teaspoons of chili powder to the liquid mixture. Also, the mixture did not leech very well beyond the skin, but for that, I can provide another solution or reccomendation. Oh, the drippings mixture makes an excellant dipping sauce for teared chicken pieces.

      We really tried to like these, but there was something missing. The hens DID come out juicy, though, but way too bland.

      Excellent recipe. This was my first time making cornish game hens and they came out perfectly. I added garlic and basil to basting sauce and used remaining to dip in...so yummy! I also cooked on orange slices as suggested. Will definetly make again!!!

      Sorry, but I didn't care for the flavor of the sauce. I could taste the chili powder and it just didn't taste right. I was surprised that one of my kids ate it - other didn't, but she's very picky. Chicken cooked up nice and was very juicy, but the taste wasn't for me....

      I thought this was really good. It wasn't as difficult as I thought to cut then hens in half. I didn't remove the back bone....just cooked it as is and there was no problem. I really hate the taste of chili, so I didn't think I would like this, with the chili powder, but I made it exactly as is and it was great. There was no chili taste at all. The only thing I would do differently next time is to make double the sauce or (like someone else said), inject the meat with the sauce. It's so good, but I don't eat the skin and that's where all the flavor was...on the outside of the skin. Maybe if the skin got crispy, I would eat it, but it wasn't. Extra sauce to spread inside the chicken would do the trick though!

      This is a great recipe! Very easy, but no one will ever know going by the taste and the presentation. I put 2 thin orange slices under each half of hen, and used about 2 tablespoons of the juice from the remaining orange. Both times I have fixed it, it has come out amazing. I'm not a fan of chili powder, so I was very surprised at how wonderful I thought this dish was.

      I made this recipe for Thanksgiving. And again today, New Year's Day. Both times, I didn't have all of the ingredients at home, so I improvised. Both times I substituted maple syrup for the honey. The first time I used apple juice for orange. And this time grape juice. Both times the birds came out scruptious!!! I baked 15 mins. skin down, 45 skin up. And I basted every 10 minutes. Thanks Chuck for a delish, easy recipe...De Jur, L.A.

      This was a delicious recipe for cornish hens. The only difficult thing was splitting the hens but other than that they were super easy to make. They turned out perfect for our Christmas dinner and my family loved them. Thanks!

      Oh, my...not that you needed another review, but this is FANTASTIC!!!! I haven't been a huge fan of cornish games, but this has maybe converted me....goes well with my mushroom barley risotto, which I hope to post within the next day or two... Thanks SO much, Chuck!!!

      YUMMY!!! Not only is it EASY...but fabulously TASTY!!! Someone else had mentioned that it lacked herbs or flavor...so I added 2 large cloves of minced garlic [per someone else's suggestion] to the mixture and it was scrumptious. I also put salt and pepper on the hens directly prior to baking. Not at all greasy! Thank you!!
