Cornish Game Hen in Apricot Preserves
1 cornish game hen, thawed or fresh
apricot preserves
honey
olive oil
kosher salt
pepper
Preheat the oven at 375. Clean your bird, rub it down with olive oil, and put a pinch of salt and pepper on it. Put it in the oven for about 40 minutes. At the 40 minute mark, pull it out and cover the hen liberally in the preserves. Try to get most of the bird covered. Put a bit of honey on there, too. I know people like having specific amounts, but no two people like the same amount of sweet to savory ratio. You'll have to figure out your favorite amount. Put it back in the oven for about 20 minutes. Let it cool for about 15 minutes and then eat it with your hands.
Yes, your hands. You've not lived until you've had cornish game hen sans silverware. Just have a second plate for bones and a few paper towels.
