Peachy Mango Roast Cornish Hens

Introduction

This is Mama Miche, and today in my Magic Kitchen: Peachy Mango Roast Cornish Hens.

I was going to make the Thai chili chicken thigh recipe on my YouTube channel and in the cookbook to be released soon, but I felt adventurous. I decided to play around and concoct another poultry dish for Rosh Hashanah this year. I'm so glad I did. The whole famdamily loved it, which is always a sweet way to celebrate a new year, with content bellies nourished, full, and happy. This is what I came up with. I hope you love it too! 

Let Mama Miche make your kitchen magic. MMMK! Let's eat!
