I made this recipe last night for a holiday dinner and everyone at the table loved it. The balsamic vinegar added a nice tart sweetness and beautiful color to the bird. I allowed the glaze to marinate the hens for half an hour prior to roasting for extra flavor. I also think you could just reduce down some orange juice instead of purchasing the concentrate for the glaze.

First of all, I had no idea Cornish Game hen was so yummy! I have discovered a whole new kind of food to play with. It is chicken but moister and more flavorful. OK, this recipe -

I prepared it exactly as Rachel instructed with one exception. Before I painted on the glaze, I salted and peppered the undersides and pressed in a little chopped, fresh garlic. Other than that, I did exactly as instructed and it was yummy! My guests loved it as well. The one thing I would do for an elegant dinner would be to halve the hens after butterflying them. They took up a LOT of room on the plate. Otherwise, they were wonderful.

Although the chicken was moist, it really did not have much flavor to it. Any suggestions for letting that marinade really marinade?

This is fast and easy and makes a really nice presentation. Mine took a little longer than the 45 minutes so give a little extra time (maybe 5/10 minutes in your planning.

This was terrific! I butterflied the hens, salted/peppered then put the glaze on them while allowing them to come to room temperature as I prepped the rest of tonight's meal which gave the meat a chance to marinate and really soak up that vinegar and orange flavor before roasting. I did add a tablespoon of honey to the glaze before putting it on the hens right before they went into the oven because I love the honey combination with balsamic vinegar then covered them w/ foil for the rest of the cooking time. The meat was exploding with juice and the flavor was insfused throughout. My family LOVED this meal! I served with Rachael's butternut squash risotto, which was a perfect compliment.
