What you'll need-
An electric food probe thermometer
2 tbs olive oil
2 Cornish hens
Salt n pepper
1 cup fig jam
1tsp white wine
2 Tbs balsamic vinegar
Preheat oven to 425•
Lightly coat hens in oil. Top with a little salt and pepper. Place on roasting rack and bake until hens reach 165• in the thigh around 30 minutes.
Meanwhile in a saucepan on medium heat, combine fig jam, wine and vinegar and bring to a boil. Turn down the temperature. Let simmer for about 15 minutes until it has a glaze like consistency. When the hens reach the right temperature pull them out of the oven. Brush the skin with the glaze and pop back in the oven for about 8 minutes. Pull them out and serve!
