Chef's Notes
Cornish game hens are delicate little creatures. Do not rush their marinade time, or you will miss out on the deep citrus infusion that defines this majestic dish.
Pro Tip
When applying the glaze during the final roasting minutes, keep a close eye on the oven. Honey and orange juice can burn quickly if the heat is too aggressive!
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Failing to discard the leftover raw marinade and accidentally brushing it onto the cooked hens at the end, turning your royal banquet into a public health hazard.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
The hens are called 'Game' hens because they apparently volunteered for the oven and think they have a sporting chance of escaping.
The Culinary Science
High roasting temperatures of 450 degrees F cause the Maillard reaction on the skin while quickly rendering the rich subcutaneous fat of the game hens.
