    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!

    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.

    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!

    I was so excited to make this dish and it turned out so bland and awful. Thank goodness I wasn't expecting company. The potato side dish is excellent though.

    I have served these several times. The hens are nice change from the ordinary and the flavor of the orange balsamic is very nice and fresh. The taste is great and they are so easy to prepare.

    I read the other reviews & marinated the hens for about 30 min.I added one clove of garlic & orange zest. The chicken was so moist that the meat fell off of the bone. I would baste the hens while baking next time for that really golden look.

    The hens cooked nicely and were moist, but absolutely none of the orange-balsamic vinegar flavor came through at all. I marinated the hens for about an hour before cooking, but that didn't help much. I would have rated the recipe higher if the flavor would have come through.
