Ingredients
3 tbsp teriyaki sauce
1 tbsp each honey and freshly squeezed lemon juice
¼ tsp each grated orange peel and grated lemon peel
1 Cornish hen (1¼ pounds * ), cut in half
¼ cup canned ready-to-serve chicken broth
1 tsp each cornstarch and sesame seed, toasted
Method
In shallow medium mixing bowl (not aluminum **) combine teriyaki sauce,
honey, lemon juice, orange peel and lemon peel; stir to combine.
Add hen halves and turn to thoroughly coat with marinade.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
Preheat broiler.
Arrange hen halves skin-side up on rack in broiling pan, reserving
marinade, and broil 6 to 8 inches from heat source for 12 to 15
minutes; turn halves over and broil until lightly browned and cooked
through, 12 to 15 minutes.
While hen is broiling prepare sauce.
Transfer marinade mixture to small nonstick saucepan; add broth and
cornstarch and stir to dissolve cornstarch.
Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to
a boil and thickens, 2 to 3 minutes.
To serve, remove and discard skin from hen; transfer hen halves to
serving platter, top with sauce, and sprinkle with sesame seed.

ingredients such as teriyaki sauce and lemon juice may react with
aluminum, causing color and flavor changes in food. |
