Next time take the game hen and split it down the breastbone. Soak in Teriyaki sauce (add pineapple chunks for a little extra sweetness/ enzyme action, but don't cook those) for a couple of hours. Fire up the BBQ (if using coals) split the coals and cook the bird spread out in the center until done and golden brown turning only once. About an hour in a Weber.
 Over a gas grill just cook on low so it won't burn.

:rofl: I saw Alton Brown do that once with a duck.  He used a cast-iron skillet to brown the skin and finished it in the oven.

I love soy sauce as a marinade.  It's so tasty.

We have a jet stream oven that does a pretty good job with cornish hen.

I love cornish hens, used to make them all the time.  Easy dinner for a worknight.  I would just treat them like roasted chicken.  Coat with butter, salt, pepper, paprika, roast at 350 for hour and a half.  Sometimes I would stuff with stuffing or leftover rice. 

You can throw the leftovers in a stockpot & make yourself some chicken soup/stock.

We season ours that way too sans paprika.  The skin gets nice and crispy in that jet air oven.

Stick a couple of orange wedges inside with a wedge of onion, with some salt, pepper and a chunk of butter.
Rub some butter under the skin, and on top, sprinkle with paprika and bake at 350. It takes about 90minutes or so.

Game hens are our Christmas Eve traditional dinner.  We bake them for almost an hour at 350 and finish them with an Asian Duck Sauce (kind of a sweet and sour sauce) or Plum Sauce.  Whatever's available.

Good stuff.

The cavity of the bird is pretty tiny, but if you've got an extra nook or cranny, I like to stick in a sprig each of thyme and rosemary. Orange is a great idea and the onion makes it a bit savory.

When the birds come out of the oven (if you're roasting multiple birds, they'll take longer - say about 90 minutes - but if just a single bird and you're using a convection oven, it won't take as long - about an hour), transfer to a plate and allow to rest and prepare a pan gravy by deglazing the drippings with a little white wine (something drier like a pinot grigio), add a bit of chicken stock, and thicken slightly with a lightly cooked roux (about a half-stick of butter cooked with a couple tablespoons of all-purpose flour, seasoned). Season to taste and you're done.
