Asian Glazed Cornish Hens Recipe

Combine soy sauce teriyaki sauce honey lemon juice garlic black pepper and ginger in a large resealable plastic bag. Add Cornish hens. Seal and marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a metal rack and set inside a roasting pan.

Transfer hens from the plastic bag to a flat work surface; tie legs together with kitchen twine. Place hens on the prepared rack.

Pour marinade into a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Remove from heat.

Roast hens in the preheated oven basting occasionally with marinade until juices run clear about 1 hour. Cover loosely with aluminum foil. Continue roasting until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh near the bone reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) about 15 minute more.

Cover hens with aluminum foil. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
