Instructions: * Note: Four bone-in chicken breast halves may be substituted for Cornish hens. Marinate 2 hours, and bake at 400 degrees for 40 minutes.

Combine first 7 ingredients in a large heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag; add hens. Seal and chill 8 hours.

Remove hens from marinade, reserving marinade. Tie ends of legs together, if desired, and place on a lightly greased rack in a roasting pan. Bring marinade to a boil in a small saucepan, remove from heat.

Bake hens at 400 degrees for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until done, basting occasionally with marinade. Cover hens loosely with aluminum foil after 1 hour to prevent browning, if necessary.

Remove from oven; cover with foil, and let stand 5 minutes.
