  "DELICIOUS"

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  I made this lastnight so my Husband and my Daughter wouldn't have to take me out for Mother's Day! I'm so glad I did, We... Loved it... I did change it alittle. I marinated for an hour in the fridge with the orange consentrate, aged balsamic, Fresh and dried Rosemary, 4 fresh garlic cloves and I added garlic powder, and orange zest with the some juice from the orange. After the hour was up I put it on the countertop for 15 minutes. HINT: Don't put the Extra Vigin Olive Oil in the recipe, I tested one with it and that why alot of people said their hen was so bland! If your going to feed like 3 people make just 2 hens, Plenty Of meat for 3. If for 2 people cook 1 hen. Believe me my family can eat and they only ate a half of the hen. Another HINT: Chop up the Fresh Rosemary really good and I recommend even more Rosemary than what the recipe calls for. I love that fresh taste and look that the rosemary presents in this dish. Cut up orange slices and put one on top of the finished hen when it's done. It came out Beautifully and it was so easy ! Tammy Messer-ScroggsRead more

  High Alt Cooking thoughts

  Rated: 4 stars out of 5

  We live at 7000ft, would reccomend that you start at 425 for 15 then take it closer to 400 for the last 30. At 375 I had to... tent them for another 20 - 25 mins, but in the end they were beautiful and moist! Flavor was delicate. I added 2 cloves of garlic to the marinad then marinated them for 1 hr, used a dry poultry seasoning and the fresh rosemary, then roasted them on celery and onions on the rack - the aroma was wonderful. The citrus flavor was good. Will make them again!Read more

  Good but not Great

  Rated: 4 stars out of 5

  The birds turned out moist and were a great color. Used fresh cracked pepper, sea salt, poultry seasoning, and fresh... rosemary to top it. The orange and balsamic really came through for us. I believe the only reason she split them down the back was for quicker cooking time and presentation. The presentation could be just as good leaving the birds in tack. Also, when served it you may be better off serving half a bird per person and letting people come back for seconds because they take up the whole plate. Overall great flavor and fun to make.

  Very Good!

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  I'm a culinary arts student, and decided to make this. It's very good. I used Bone-In chicken breasts because I'm not a fan... of Cornish Hens. I left the recipe as is and it was great!Read more
