Cornish Hens With Cranberry Brandy Sauce Recipe

Cornish Hens With Cranberry Brandy Sauce

From chefmeow 15 years ago

These are great, especially for an impressive holiday meal. Pretty on the platter, great on the palate. Enjoy

Preheat oven to 325 and with large knife cut through breast bone and open bird fully.
Turn bird over and cut through back to split hen into two pieces.
Wash bird well then season with salt and pepper.
Place hen pieces in baking pan large enough to hold pieces in one layer then bake 45 minutes.
Remove from oven then cover with foil and set aside.
In medium sauté pan over medium heat warm brandy and cranberries.
Carefully light a match and flame brandy.
When flame subsides add balsamic vinegar and honey then cook stirring until thickened.
Serve over hens.
