- 3 Cornish Game hens – halved (2 regular chickens halved can be used instead)
- Olive Oil
- Kosher Salt
- Fresh Ground Pepper
- 1/4 cup Spindel Farms Simply Outrageous! Pomegranate Tangerine Vinegar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup fresh-squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
- leaves from one sprig of fresh oregano – chopped (optional)
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1/2 tsp Kosher salt
- Fresh ground pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 450°F. Place hen halves skin side up on a rack in shallow roasting pan. Brush halves lightly with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for 15 minutes (20 minutes for chicken). Meanwhile, mix all other ingredients together and let stand to marinate. After first 20 minutes, reduce oven temperature to 350° and begin to baste with Vinegar mixture. Baste every 10 minutes until done – approx. 20 minutes for hens and 30 minutes for chicken. Check temperature of breast and remove at 175°F. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
