Servings: persons

3 bacon strips, diced
1/2 cup finely shredded carrot
1/4 cup chopped onion
1-1/2 cups unseasoned stuffing cubes
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon dried savory
Dash pepper
3/4 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules, divided
2 tablespoons hot water
2 Cornish game hens (20 to 24 ounces each)
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/4 cup white wine or apple juice
2 tablespoons plus 2/3 cup orange juice, divided
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons cornstarch

1
In a small skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon to paper towels. In the drippings, saute carrot and onion until tender; transfer to a large bowl. Stir in stuffing cubes, parsley, savory, pepper and bacon.
2
Dissolve 1/4 teaspoon bouillon in hot water; pour over stuffing mixture and gently toss to moisten. Spoon into hens. Tuck wings under hens; tie legs together.
3
Place on a greased rack in a roasting pan. Lightly brush hens with oil; loosely cover with foil. Bake at 375u00b0 for 30 minutes.
4
Meanwhile, in a saucepan, bring the wine, 2 tablespoons orange juice and butter to a boil. Remove from the heat; set aside 1/4 cup for sauce and keep warm.
5
Brush remaining mixture over hens. Bake 40-50 minutes longer or until meat juices run clear and a thermometer inserted in stuffing reads 165u00b0, brushing every 15 minutes with glaze.
6
For sauce, in a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, cornstarch, and remaining bouillon and orange juice until smooth. Stir in reserved glaze. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Serve with hens.
