note: optional rinse hens and pat dry. Mix wine, soy sauce, salt, honey & orange juice together. Rub 1 tblpsn butter inside each hen. Sprinkle the cavity with salt. Mix the onion, garlic, pecans, mushrooms, & tangerines together. Stuff each hen with this mixture. Heat the liquid mixture until it begins to boil. Turn off & let cool for 5 minutes. Pour 2 tblspns of this into each hen. Preheat oven to 325 °F then bake hens for 45 minutes. Be sure to baste every 10 minutes with the liquid mixture. Test birds...if not done....cook until done. **note** i have used this same thing on chickens too as well guinea hens. All came out well as did the quail i used it with.
