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.

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

Occasionally one just has to try a new combination of ingredients. I hesitated on the chili powder but went with the recipe as printed. The flavor was fantastic. They were juicy, moist and so incredibly good. Made for an impressive meal.

very good...i had to adjust for a family of 5. i baked with skin side down for 15 min. vs. 6-8 and increased final baking time to 60 minutes; basted half-way through, again. easy to prepare and family loved it.

Very good. A lot of messy work to cut the hens in half, but they looked great all browned and crispy on the outside. I baked them for 45 minutes and they were slightly dry, so next time I'd decrease the cooking time by 5 or 10 minutes or use a meat thermometer to be sure. The chili butter had nice subtle flavor... next time I'd add onion powder and some minced garlic for a little extra flavor. Thanks for a nice dinner!

Made this tonight for dinner and it came out great. Me and my DH enjoyed it immensely. For orange juice, I used a real orange and then lined bottom of casserole dish with 4 orange slices. Thanks will make again.

Oh my god this was soooo good! My boyfriend usually doesnt have a big appetite so I only made one hen for the two of us, and he was looking for seconds! I also added orange slices to the bottom of the pan as someone suggested, and it came out great! The hardest part was cutting out the backbone and the little bones, but it was worth the time! Thanks for the recipe I will definately make this again!
