Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Split Cornish Hens in half lengthwise.

Arrange in a single layer in a large plastic bag set in a shallow roasting pan.

Pour marinade over hens.

Tie bag tightly closed, pressing as much marinade as possible up around hens.

Refrigerate 12 hours or overnight, turning bag once.

Roasted Cornish Hens: Preheat oven to 375℉ (190℃).
