In a small saucepan, whisk together the five-spice powder, preserves, mustard, orange juice and chicken broth. Heat over medium until the preserves are melted and the mixture is almost smooth.

Divide the sauce in half; set aside one half to serve with the cooked hens. Spray a broiler pan with cooking spray. Place the hens in the pan and drizzle with some of the reserved sauce.
