ROASTED CORNISH GAME HENS WITH SESAME-GINGER SAUCE
This is a recipe I found in a magazine a few years back and it never disappoints! I usually use this for dinner parties because it can be prepared ahead of time and takes very little effort. This calls for Cornish Game Hens but I always use mixed pieces of chicken with the skin on! Just watch because the chicken breasts cook faster than the dark meat. I never alter the ingredients but I do marinate it for at least 4 hours or longer. I serve this with garlic-mashed potatoes and broccoli!! Oh- don't forget the last step with the reserve marinade! Enjoy!!
