Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cornish game hens, halved (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1/2 c apple cider
1/4 c apple jelly
1 tsp five-spice powder
1/8 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Spray the broiler rack with nonstick spray and preheat the broiler.
  • 2. Broil hens 7 inches from the heat, skinned side down, 15 minutes. Turn the hens and broil until cooked through, 5-10 minutes more.
  • 3. Meanwhile, prepare the glaze. Combine the cider, jelly, five-spice powder, salt and cayenne pepper in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Simmer until the mixture is thick and syrupy, about 7 minutes. Set aside and keep warm (mixture should equal 1/4 cup).
  • 4. Carefully remove the skin from each hen. Brush about half of the glaze over the hens. Broil until bubbly, 1-2 minutes more. Place the hens on a serving platter and drizzle with the remaining glaze.
