This was great; made it for Valentine's Day dinner with lobster tails and mashed potatoes. My family is Chinese and we use oyster sauce in pretty much everything so I already had it just sitting in the fridge.

Absolutely loved this recipe. Next time I would double the marinade and reserve half of it for basting. We grilled this instead of baking it and absolutely loved the results! Will definitely be making this again!

Delicious! I agree with the other reviews and the cooking time is a little longer than expected. Recommend double checking the meat temperature (165 for poultry). Wasn't a problem though because it gave us more time to baste the outside for a fantastic finish!

Oops, wasn't paying attention and used Hoisin Sauce-- but it was fantastic! I marinated for about an hour in a big ziplock bag so the color was wonderful before even cooking. Used 4 hens. I added 30 min. to the cooking but ended up cooking 1-1/2 hours at 350°. TIP: if you bake 4 at once, rotate the whole birds half-way through cooking so both sides are exposed to the same amount of heat. Setting side-by-side the 'inside' halves were underdone, outside halves were perfect.

As with many other reviews, this needs more cooking time. Doubled everything and made 4 birds. Initially added 10 extra mins on 325 and 20 extra mins on 350 and basted only 3 times but that was not enough. Put the birds back in 350 for 30 more mins, perfectly tender and juicy!

Reminded us of the ducks in Chinatown...took us longer to cook since we basted quite often. Our 6 year old ate the whole hen, it was that good.

OK. I didn't think the soy and oyster sauces added much even after marinating for 45 minutes.

I had never cooked a cornish hen before but this recipe seemed simple enough so I picked it...and I am SO glad I did! The flavor was great! I served it with garlic mashed potatoes and buttered green beans and my husband and I devoured it all! The only thing I did differently was I added the 2 tbls of butter to the marinade (by accident) and then I used 2 more later on like the recipe called for. I will definately be making this again!
