Very good, but a bit greasy. Great flavor and easy to prepare. Next time I will cut down on the butter.

I hate this recipe because it is so good I ate the whole thing! I simply could not pass up on the wonderful glazed skin , I even had trouble leaving the bones! The hen was fall off the bones tender & moist The flavor was heaven;y. I cut the recipe in half doing only 1 hen for the two of us and it worked perfectly. The only change I made was to cook the hen for 25 minutes without the glaze and then basted the hen with the glaze and continued baking for a further 25 minutes. Chuck this is a winner Thanks for sharing

I was cooking 8 hens so you can imagine I had to increase the sauce. I had two big trays full of hens lol.... I basted them a couple of times but I don't think it was necessary. They looked wonderful and everyone thot they were great. My son ate 3 halves. thanks for posting this Chuck... Lee
