Directions

Marinade for Cornish Game Hens

In a blender, put the onion, chipotle chile, half of the olive oil, dried oregano, chili powder and garlic and blend for 1 minute. Cut the hens in halves or quarters and place in a ziploc bag with the marinade for at least 4 hours, although overnight is better.

For the Relish

Thinly julienne green mango, jicama, red bell pepper, jalapeño [remove seeds], transfer to a mixing bowl and add the lime juice, honey, chopped cilantro and salt and pepper.

For the Cornish Hens

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Season the hen pieces with salt and pepper, place on roasting pan and roast for 30 minutes.

Plating

Relish is served over the hen, then garnish with limes.
