Honey Game Hens Stuffed with Wild Rice

Cornish game hens look like they're just the cutest, fanciest, most personal little plate of a meal - and they are...until you start eating them. Then things get ugly. I wanted to make this particular recipe, in which the hens are marinated in honey, soy, garlic and ginger, because it sounded great. In the end, it wasn't as sweet as I had hoped (perhaps it was my refusal to baste every 15 minutes?). That, in combination with the mess factor put this in the back of the recipe folder. But it sure was pretty for a while...
