Apricot Glazed Cornish Hens

Our Apricot Glazed Cornish Hens are mouth-watering. They only look and taste fancy, but you'll know the truth!

Serves: 4

Cooking Time: 1 hr 15 min

Ingredients

• 1 orange, quartered
• 4 Cornish hens
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup apricot preserves
• 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a roasting pan with cooking spray.
    
2. Place an orange quarter into cavity of each Cornish hen and place them in pan. Season with salt and pepper.
    
3. In a small bowl, combine preserves and brown sugar; pour mixture over hens. Roast, uncovered, 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours, or until no pink remains and juices run clear, basting every 20 minutes. Serve whole or cut each hen in half, and serve with additional glaze from pan spooned over the top.
