2 (1 1/2-lb) cornish game hens, halved lengthwise and backs removed |
1/4 cup fresh orange juice |
2 tablespoons soy sauce |
1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar |
1 teaspoon honey |
1/8 teaspoon minced peeled fresh ginger |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Put oven rack in upper third of oven and preheat oven to 400°F.
2. Pat hens dry and whisk together remaining ingredients in a small bowl.
3. Marinate hens in orange juice mixture in a sealed bag, chilled, 15 minutes.
4. Transfer hens, skin sides up, with marinade to a 13- by 9- by 3-inch roasting pan and roast, basting with juices every 10 minutes, for 30 minutes. After third basting, roast hens until skin is golden and juices run clear when a thigh is pierced, about 15 minutes more. Transfer hens to a platter and drizzle liberally with pan juices.
