Here's a new and exciting dish that's easily prepared. It's especially
delicious served with sesame noodles or your favorite rice pilaf. For
an ideal meal without much effort, simply steam up some fresh snow
peas to serve on the side.  Rinse game hens and pat dry. Place in a
bowl. Trim off wing tips,  necks and any excess fat from the neck
cavities. Place garlic and  ginger in the bowl of a food processor;
process until nearly smooth.  Reserve. In another bowl, combine soy
sauce, honey, peanut oil,  orange juice and orange zest. Add the
reserved garlic and ginger.  Pour mixture over game hens to coat well.
Let rest at room  temperature for 4 hours, or refrigerate overnight,
turning game hens  in marinade 3 or 4 times. Preheat oven to 350'F.
Place game hens in a  shallow roasting pan to fit. Pour marinade on
top. Bake game hens 1  hour or until cooked through, basting every 15
minutes. Remove hens  to a serving platter. Pour cooking juices into a
small, heavy  saucepan and boil over high heat for 5 minutes or until
sauce  thickens slightly. Pour over the hens just before serving.
NOTE: These birds can be served whole or, for smaller portions, are
lovely split in half. Just be sure to remove the backbones and wing
tips before preparing.  Per serving: 185 calories, 7 grams fat, 12
milligrams cholesterol.  From Tuscon area newspapers, 1994, 3rd
