Brandy Jellied Cornish Game Hens
This is my favorite recipe for Cornish hens, although I only make them a few times a year because they are not a favorite of DH. I usually make them if my sisters are coming over.

I love game hens and like to find different ways of preparing them. This was a hit with my spousal unit.
I love this marinade but don’t always want it on hens so I have substituted 4 bone-in chicken breast halves for the hens. I marinate at least 2 hours, baked at 400º for 50 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. I poured marinade over the chicken before baking and basted every once in awhile as it was baking. This recipe is adapted from the Southern Living 2000 Annual.
A simple yet impressive dish. Low in sodium and calories, this is great for people who are on a restricted diet, yet still want to indulge their gourmet cravings. From Southern Living, February 1986.
I originally found this recipe in Cuisine Magazine, but it’s a lot of work and I cook it from memory now so it’s not exactly the same recipe. Deboning is very labor intensive, so don’t say I didn’t warn you.
