ORANGE-CRANBERRY GLAZED CORNISH HENS



Orange-Cranberry Glazed Cornish Hens image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 Cornish game hens (1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds each)
1 large onion, sliced into rounds, rings separated
2 oranges, sliced into rounds, plus 1 cup fresh orange juice (from about 4 oranges)
8 sprigs fresh rosemary, plus 2 teaspoons finely chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup cranberries (fresh or frozen)
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1 tablespoon coriander seeds, crushed or coarsely ground
1/2 teaspoon ancho chile powder
2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
1 stick unsalted butter
3 cloves garlic, chopped

Steps:

  • Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 475 degrees F. Cut the hens in half with kitchen shears, removing the backbone and cutting through the middle of the breastbone. Divide the onion, oranges and rosemary sprigs between 2 rimmed baking sheets. Arrange the hens skin-side up on the baking sheets and season all over with salt and pepper. Set aside at room temperature, 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the orange juice, cranberries, maple syrup, 1 teaspoon coriander, the chile powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook, mashing the cranberries as they start to burst, until the mixture is thickened and reduced to about 3/4 cup, 20 to 25 minutes. Stir in the vinegar and season with salt. Set aside.
  • Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and add the chopped rosemary, garlic and the remaining 2 teaspoons coriander. Cook 30 seconds, then remove from the heat.
  • Pat the hens dry with paper towels, then brush with the flavored butter. Roast the hens until the skin is browned and a thermometer inserted into the thigh registers 165 degrees F, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and switch to the broiler setting. Brush the hens with the orange-cranberry sauce, then broil, one baking sheet at a time, until glazed and dark brown in spots, 2 to 3 minutes.

CORNISH GAME HENS WITH CRANBERRY SAUCE



Cornish Game Hens With Cranberry Sauce image

Provided by Pierre Franey

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 Cornish game hens, with giblets,each about 1 1/4 pounds
2 tablespoons corn, peanut or vegetable oil
Salt to taste if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1 onion, peeled
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon honey
2/3 cup fresh or canned chicken broth
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 cups fresh cranberries
1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
  • Put the game hens in a shallow, flameproof baking dish without crowding. Rub the hens all over with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cut the onion in half and place the halves, cut side down, around the hens. Arrange the gizzards and livers around the hens.
  • Place the baking dish with hens on top of the stove over low heat. Turn the hens around in the dish to coat with the oil. Arrange the hens on their sides. Place in the oven and bake 15 minutes, basting often.
  • Turn the hens to other side and continue baking 15 minutes, basting often.
  • Turn the hens breast side up and continue baking about 10 minutes, basting often.
  • Transfer the hens to a heated serving platter and cover with foil to keep warm.
  • Skim off most of the fat from the pan liquid in the baking dish. Put the baking dish on top of the stove and bring the pan liquid to a boil. Add the wine and stir to dissolve any brown particles that may cling to the bottom of the pan. Strain the sauce into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook down to about half and add the honey, chicken broth and tomato paste. Stir. Add any liquid that has accumulated inside or around the hens. Add the cranberries and bring to a boil.
  • Cook until the cranberries pop, about 3 minutes, stirring often. Swirl in the butter. Add salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over the hens and serve.

CLEMENTINE AND CRANBERRY GLAZED CORNISH GAME HENS



Clementine and Cranberry Glazed Cornish Game Hens image

Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 shallot, minced
1 tablespoon butter
Zest of 2 clementines plus 1 cup clementine juice
1/2 cup jarred cranberry sauce
1 packed tablespoon brown sugar
1 sprig fresh rosemary
4 Cornish game hens, rinsed and dried
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In a small saucepan, saute the shallots in the butter over medium heat until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add in the clementine zest and juice, cranberry, brown sugar and rosemary. Simmer until thick, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Season the game hens liberally with salt and pepper. Using a basting brush, paint each bird entirely with the glaze. Cover the wing tips with foil to keep them from blackening too much.
  • Place the glazed birds in an enameled cast-iron Dutch oven. Roast for 20 minutes, and then reglaze the birds. Check after 15 more minutes; if the sugars in the glaze are turning too brown, lightly tent the Dutch oven with foil to protect the skins. Baste again after 45 more minutes, then check with an instant-read thermometer after another 5 minutes; the thighs must register at 165 degrees F, the breasts at 170. Let rest for 10 minutes and serve.
