Roasted Cornish Game Hens

These little birds are simply small chickens
one bird perfect for a single serving.

Ingredients:
2 (1 1/2-lb) Cornish game hens,
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:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Pat hens dry and whisk together
remaining ingredients in a small bowl.
Marinate hens in orange juice
mixture in a sealed bag,
chilled, 15 minutes.
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.
