Ingredients
4-5 serrano chiles, stems and
seeds removed
1/2 cup lime juice
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 Tablespoons tequila
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon chopped fresh
cilantro
4 Cornish hens
Preparation
Combine all the ingredients except the hens in a blender and puree. Pour the mixture over the hens and marinate for 2 hours at room temperature or overnight in the refrigerator.
Place the hens in a 450-degree oven and immediately reduce the heat to 350. Roast for 30 to 45 minutes or until done, basting often with the marinade.
