Ingredients:

Serving

4 (1 1/2 lb) cornish hens
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper
4 bay leaves
4 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
2 tbsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp chili flakes
2 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup stone ground dijon mustard
1 1/2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Directions:

Season the hens inside and out with salt and pepper.
Place equal portions of bay leaves, garlic, thyme and chili flakes inside the cavity of each hen.
Brush the hens with oil.
Place, breast side down, on a rack in a roasting pan.
Cover and roast in a preheated 375 degree F oven for 40 minutes. Check at this point to see if the leg pulls away easily from the body and the meat is no longer pink. If still pink, roast for another 10 to 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine the honey, mustard, vinegar, cumin and cilantro in a bowl.
Brush over the hens.
Roast uncovered for another 10 minutes to brown the glaze.
