Apple -Glazed Cornish Game Hens
- 2 Cornish hens, halved (about 1 1/2 pounds)
- 1/2 cup apple cider
- 1/4 cup apple jelly
- 1 teaspoon five-spice powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
- Spray the broiler rack with nonstick spray; preheat the broiler. Broil the hens 7 inches from the heat, skinned side down, 15 minutes. Turn the hens and broil until cooked through, 5-10 minutes more.
- Meanwhile, prepare the glaze: Combine the cider, jelly, five-spice powder, salt and cayenne 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 about 1/4 cup).
- 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.
