Orange Glazed Cornish Hen

"Marinate the hens for at least an hour. While they're marinating in the refrigerator, start making the sauce."

Ingredients :

Marinade:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1 orange, zested and juiced
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 Cornish game hens
Sauce:
2 cups orange juice
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup finely diced onion
2 teaspoons ground ginger
freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions :

Prep : 15M	Cook : 2M	Ready in : 2H15M

Mix olive oil, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, lemon zest and juice, orange zest and juice, garlic, salt, and black pepper together in a large resealable bag. Add hens, seal bag, and coat hens with marinade. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, flipping the bag 1 or 2 times to redistribute marinade.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
Mix orange juice, soy sauce, honey, 1/4 cup Dijon mustard, onion, ginger, and black pepper together in a bowl.
Remove hens from marinade and transfer to a roasting pan, discarding leftover marinade.
Roast hens in the preheated oven for 50 minutes. Brush hens with orange glaze and roast for 5 more minutes. Flip hens, brush with more glaze, and roast until meat is no longer pink in the center, about 5 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
