These exotic Curried Game Hens deliver sophisticated Thai flavors with surprisingly simple preparation. The overnight marinade of coconut milk, fresh lemongrass and red curry paste infuses the tender meat with complex, aromatic flavor. Roasted to golden perfection, the hens develop a stunning caramelized exterior while remaining juicy inside. The reduced coconut-curry sauce creates the perfect finishing touch for this elegant, restaurant-quality dish that's impressive enough for special occasions yet accessible enough for adventurous home cooks.
