Had pretty high hopes for this, but was sadly disappointed. Tastes just like chicken with soy sauce. Pretty salty, so perhaps using the reduced sodium style would work better. The soy and oyster sauce are both salt elements, so I'd probably add some brown sugar or honey for some sweetness. I cut the hens in half (as seen in the picture, but not in the recipe) for more consistent cooking. Hubs ate two halves, which is the reason for the four stars. If I were going on my review alone, it'd be three. Garnished with green onions and served with rice and Garlic Vegetable Saute (recipe to be published).

This was a very easy recipe and very delicious! I used nonfat "butter" spray instead of the butter - still browned beautifully! I would definately make this again with other cuts of meat.

Pretty good - I substituted Hoisin Sauce for Oyster since that's all I had on hand. I also upped the garlic to 4 cloves and marinaded the cut up hens overnight. It was way too hot to turn on the oven so I grilled these over medium indirect heat for about 30 minutes. The hens were very moist and had a nice mild flavor to them.

This was soooo easy! I used "lite" soy sauce instead of the regular because I was concerned about to much sodium...I added paprika once I took the foil off to help with the browning...this was a hit at my house and so totally easy! Thanks for sharing.. I will be using this again and again :0)

Cornish hens have become a traditional Christmas dinner for my family. This recipe was awesome! I marinated the hens overnight. My family gathered on Boxing day, and I served the roasted hens with rice, green beans sauted with onions in peanut oil, and the drippings straight from the pan. absolutely delicious. My family literally licked their chops.

This recipe is very good. I made the recipe exactly except that I added about a tsp of Paprika to the marinade. I also split the chickens in half and marinaded them for about 4-5 hrs. The chickens came out very tasty! I will use this recipe again!

Excellent recipe. Good flavor and great presentation. Hens were moist and tender; however, the time they have listed is incorrect, I ended up cooking mine about an extra 20-30 minutes and if I hadn't they would have bled red! I served with fresh green beans, wild rice, and a packet of summer vegetables. Great dish for a Sunday Dinner.

This was a pretty good recipe - liked by the entire family. I LOVED how the cornish hens browned...they looked beautiful - 5star restaurant-quality presentation. I didn't especially like the oyster sauce flavor, but the hens were very moist. I took the advice of many commenters and added Chinese 5spice, olive oil; cut the hens in half before cooking; marinated them 3 hours in ziploc bags in the fridge. Cooked this with the following menu: Zucchini & Tomato Bowtie Pasta, Seafood Quiche...and Watermelon. :-)

Amazing marinade and so simple to make. The Oyster sauce adds a little sweetness and acts as a thickener. I've also subsituted Hoisin sauce for the oyster sauce with great results. And add 1/2 teaspoon Chinese Five Spice for amazing flavor. I cut the hens in half and marinate them in large ziploc bags for at least 2 hours or more. And grilling this imparts even better flavor. Great easy weeknight meal yet gorgeous enough for company. Love it. TIP - I think the oven temp. is way off. When the hens are cut in half, I bake them at 375 degrees for about 40 min. A whole hen takes me about 1 hour. But definitely cook this at higher heat.

Very, very tasty. I had a big jar of oyster sauce and was looking for recipes to use it on. I split the cornish hen down the middle with a cleaver and marinated it for about 8 hrs. Cooked it about 40 min. at 325 then grilled it for 15 min. Also put a glaze called cheriyaki on last 10 min. Turned out great.
