Ingredients
Sauce:
2 cups orange juice
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup onion, small diced
2 tablespoons ginger, grated
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Marinade:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 lemon, zested, juiced
1 orange, zested, juiced
2 garlic cloves, peeled, chopped
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 Cornish hens, split, backbones removed
Directions
- Put all the sauce ingredients into a saucepan. Over medium heat bring it to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer for 1/2 hour. At the same time mix the marinade together, and rub it all the over hens. Marinate for at least 1 hour. Roast hens in a preheated 375 degree F oven for 25 minutes, and then brush with sauce. Finish the hens on a preheated grill for another 7 minutes, turning and brushing with more sauce to glaze.
