I made this recipe exactly as stated and my husband and I didn't care for it. The sweetness took away from the flavor of the hens and the poppy seeds made a real mess on your plate, fingers and teeth.

It came out looking beautiful, it was juicy and moist, but it was, well, gamey. Not impressed. I guess if you like gamey meats this recipe is for you, I nor my boyfriend enjoyed this.

Excellent Hens with wonderful rich flavor. Note: I brined the hens first in salt water for about 2 hours to increase the flavor and did add a bit of poppy seed dressing to the honey poppy mix. These were very tasty!!!

It was just ok for me. They didnt get crispy like i wanted them to. But the sauce was pretty good.

I am giving this recipes five stars because it was truly delicious! The only change I made was instead of honey, I used maple syrup..kind of a big change, but I was out of honey. I believe, however, that this would be just as good with honey! The maple glazed my hen perfectly, and it browned beautifully! MMmmm

Great for a dinner party. The chicken was good, but perhaps lacking a bit of salt and flavor. But a very good basic chicken recipe.

This was pretty awful. The basting mix is so wet that the skin was soggy--not crisp at all. The Cornish Hen seemed "stewed," not roasted.

This was a really easy recipe and tasted great. I served it with wild rice and baby carrots. The plate looked great. I'll make this one again.

I had high hopes for this recipe, but it was really very bland. It definitely needs some sort of added seasoning.

Juicy, but too sweet and not very flavorful (for my tastes).

This was amazing. I dare say, my favorite way to eat a little chicken. It was so good, that I suggest trying this on grilled chicken. I ate the whole hen, a first for me. Thank you, we will make this again soon.

I cooked the hens whole instead of cutting in half because I liked the look of serving a whole hen to my company. Worked out fine and they were delicious. I accidentally mixed the salt and pepper in with the honey, but it didn't seem to matter. It was hard to get the honey mixture to spread onto the hens so I actually stuck them in the oven for 3 minutes to get the skin dryer and warmer and that helped.

I was a little doubtful during the prepping of the hens because the honey mixture didn't exactly brush on. But the end result is beautiful! The hens are just bursting with juice and the honey mix gave the meat just enough flavor to not over power the natural flavor, and still make it taste good (I can't stand poultry plain) Thank you!!

I made some modification to this recipe since there is a diabetic from one of my friend. I cut honey to one-third only and still came out perfect! Delicious hens.
