Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking pan for the hens.
-
Prepare hens by massaging gravy enhancer onto the skin (if using) and tucking wings behind their backs.
-
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt orange marmalade, butter, and Worcestershire sauce for approximately 1 minute, then stir into a glaze.
-
Fill each hen with stuffing or an orange wedge, place breast-side up in the pan, and brush with half of the prepared glaze.
-
Bake uncovered for 45 minutes, then remove, baste with the remaining glaze, and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 180°F.
-
Allow hens to rest for 10 minutes prior to serving.
