Original recipe serves 4. Current scale: 1x.
Cutting down on meat portions is an easy way to cut calories. These Cornish Hens are split and marinated in a fragrant mixture of soy sauce, orange juice, garlic, onions and a small amount of oil. Broil quickly and serve with a tangy dipping sauce, if desired. Note: I have not made this recipe, was posted as a request from another 'Zaar member.
