Original recipe serves 2. Current scale: 1x.
Stick a couple of baked potatoes in the oven and toss a salad, and you have a great meal. I found this in Taste Of Home magazine. I have not tried this recipe, but I'm posting this for safe keeping.

Equipment
Large resealable plastic bag, small bowl, 9-inch square baking dish, meat thermometer
Ingredients
- 20 ounces Cornish hens
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
Instructions
Place Cornish hen in a large resealable plastic bag. In a small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Pour half of the marinade over hen; seal bag and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight, turning several times. Refrigerate the remaining marinade for basting.
Drain and discard marinade. Place hen, skin side up, in a greased 9-inch square baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 400 for 30 minutes. Baste with reserved marinade. Bake 20-30 minutes longer or until a meat thermometer reads 180. Cut in half to serve.
