Cornish Hen With Orange Stuffing
- 1 medium navel orange
- 1/4 cup sliced green onions
- 1/4 cup chopped celery
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1-1/2 cups seasoned stuffing mix
- 1/4 teaspoon grated orange zest
- 4 to 5 tablespoons orange juice
- 1 Cornish game hen (20 to 24 ounces), split lengthwise
- 1 tablespoon honey, warmed
- 1 tablespoon water
- Peel and section orange; cut each section into quarters and set aside. In a skillet, saute onions and celery in oil until crisp-tender. In a bowl, combine the onion mixture, stuffing mix, orange zest and reserved orange sections. Stir in enough orange juice to just moisten stuffing mixture.
- Arrange stuffing in two mounds in a greased shallow 2-qt. baking dish. Place Cornish game hen halves skin side up over stuffing. Cover and bake at 375u0b0 for 30 minutes. Uncover; bake for 15 minutes. Combine honey and water. Brush over hens. Bake 10-15 minutes longer or until juices run clear.
