Honey Tips
Honey Is One of the Oldest Foods
Honey is one of the oldest foods in existence. It was found in the tomb of King Tut and was still edible since honey never spoils.
Directions
Preheat oven to 450°. Make glaze by combining first 7 ingredients. Set aside. Season cavity of each bird with salt and pepper. Place a garlic clove and an orange section in each cavity. Set on a rack in a roasting pan. Baste birds well with glaze and bake 15 minutes. Baste again and reduce heat to 350°. Cook hens approximately 35 minutes longer, basting frequently. (Larger hens may take slightly longer.)
