I downsized the recipe to one hen for my fiancé and I. Not sure about it's weight, but even though we cooked it in the oven for one hour it wasn't completely cooked; I am going to blame this on my oven which is old and seems to cook unevenly. My half was nicely done while his wasn't; the breasts were a little dry. I omitted the grapes since they were optional anyway. Added extra lemon and orange juices to the glaze/sauce, which was delicious! Maybe next time I will add some clove or nutmeg for increased flavour and depth. Served this with rice (white rice, diced red/green/yellow peppers, onion and garlic powder, chicken stock, water and some of the glaze). This is my first time making and eating a Cornish hen, only downside about the fowl itself is that the small bones (rib area) were a little tedious to pick clean. A keeper though, that's for sure!

Good flavor and very moist, but the hens were undercooked at the recommended one hour. It's more like one and a half hours.

Used Starbucks Coffee liquere which proved to have a mello flavor. The birds were extreamly moist. I did stuff them with seedless grapes in addition to the lemon and orange slices. The fruit had a bit of a chicken flavor so no one ate it. But they loved everything else. Highly Recomended

Very good everyone liked this dish. Thank you for posting this recipe.

Don't know about the recipe, but I completely adore the guy who submitted it!
