Recipe - Roasted Cornish Game Hens Marinated In Honey And Mustard

One fourth cup Honey
1/3 cup Grainy mustard
2 Cloves garlic, chopped
5 tablespoon Vegetable oil
1 teaspoon Dried thyme or 1 tablespoon
chopped fresh thyme
1 One half teaspoon Ground cinnamon
2 Cornish game hens
Salt and freshly ground
black pepper
1 Lemon

Mix the honey, mustard, garlic, 3 tablespoons oil, thyme and cinnamon
together in a bowl and set aside. Remove the wing tips from the hens. Roll
the hens in the marinade and marinate overnight.

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

Season the birds inside and out with salt and pepper. Cut the lemon in half
and squeeze over each bird. Put a used lemon half in the cavity of each
bird. Truss the birds.

Set a rack in a roasting pan and brush the rack with several tablespoons
vegetable oil. Place the birds, breast side down on the oiled rack. Roast
for 30 minutes. Turn the birds breast side up, reduce the heat to 350
degrees and roast an additional 15 to 20 minutes or until the hens are
cooked through and the skin is brown. Allow the hens to rest 10 minutes
before serving.
