Remove foil from hens. Continue roasting about 45 min more or possibly till drumstick can be twisted easily in the socket and vegetables are tender. Remove vegetables from oven. Spoon remaining glaze over hens; roast 5 min more.
  3. To serve, place hens or possibly dinner plates; serve with vegetables and glaze. Serve with rice. Makes 2 servings.
  4. Honey Glaze: In a small saucepan cook 1/2 c. finely minced red sweet pepper and 1/4 c. finely minced onion in 1 Tbsp. butter till tender.
