Garlic Soy Cornish Hens
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
  • ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 large Cornish game hens
  • 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the optimal temperature for baking, which is 325 degrees Fahrenheit or 165 degrees Celsius.
2
In a spacious container, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, minced garlic, and black pepper to create a savory blend. Submerge the Cornish game hens in this mixture, allowing them to absorb the flavors for 10 minutes.
3
Transfer the hens to a medium-sized baking dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven.
4
Remove the foil covering the dish, and place a small amount of unsalted butter on top of each hen. Boost the oven temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 175 degrees Celsius. Periodically baste the hens with the marinade mixture to achieve a golden-brown exterior and a tender interior. Continue baking for 30 minutes, or until the hens are nicely browned on the outside and cooked through.
