We really tried to like these, but there was something missing. The hens DID come out juicy, though, but way too bland.

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 agree with all of the other reviews. This is juicy and flavorful. I fixed this for our Easter dinner and we all loved it. I've got leftovers that I can't wait to dig into. I'm thinking that next time I make it though I will inject the breasts with some of the wonderful sauce to get even more of it's flavor into the meat.
