ROASTED CORNISH HENS WITH HONEY MUSTARD GLAZE



Roasted Cornish Hens With Honey Mustard Glaze image

The original recipe came from "The 21 Cookbook: Recipes and Lore from New York's Fabled Restaurant" by Michael Lomonaco and Donna Forsman. I found the cooking time given was insufficient and the recipe made enough glaze for eight hens, never mind four! Obviously, I will be using the changes I made to the recipe. The end result was a big hit with my family and guests, though!

4 (1 1/2 lb) Cornish hens
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
4 bay leaves
4 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
2 tablespoons dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup stone ground dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Season the hens inside and out with salt and pepper.
  • Place equal portions of bay leaves, garlic, thyme and chili flakes inside the cavity of each hen.
  • Brush the hens with oil.
  • Place, breast side down, on a rack in a roasting pan.

  • Meanwhile, combine the honey, mustard, vinegar, cumin and cilantro in a bowl.
  • Brush over the hens.
