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!

Came out good, only a little too salty.

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. :-)

Pretty good recipe. Very easy to make, and yummy results. My whole family loved it!

Good recipes with common Asian sauces. I also used hoison sauce & 5 spice Chinese seasoning to give alittle kick. I cooked this in the slow cooker & it came out tender.

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.

Delicious! Could not believe how moist the cornish hens were.

Very simple with good flavor. I added paprika and olive oil and marinated over night.

This is a great basic easy Cornish Hen recipe. I make it exactly as printed and it was great. I did make it a second time and after the 30 min. in the oven I transfered the hens to the grill on low heat to finish them. Very good grilled.

I put it in the marinade for about 6 hours and needed to cook it about 30 minutes longer than the recipe states. Flavor is good, just not strong enough. Maybe if you marinade overnight it would give all of the meat the flavor instead of just the outside edge.

The flavor was good, but it took about an additional 45 min to thoroughly cook the hens. By the time it was done, I felt like I could have ran to the store and bought something in place of this. Not sure if I would do again, due to the length of time to cook.

This is the first time I baked hens and it turned out great! My friends loved this dish. When I was mixing the marinade I added about a tablespoon of sugar as well as about a table spoon of honey. During the last 15 minutes of bake time I coated the hens with honey and it gave it a nice glazed taste to the first bite!

Maybe i made it wrong but there was no flavor in this at all!
