  2. Transfer to a mixing bowl and add in the cornbread, thyme, sage, cilantro, egg and stock and mix well. Place in 12- by 15-inch baking pan and bake for 25 min.
  3. Cranberry Mango Relish: In a warm skillet combine cranberries and brown sugar, cook till berries start to pop. Add in all remaining ingredients, except cilantro, and heat, (add in a spoon of water if sauce appears dry). Just before serving, toss in the cilantro.
  4. Hens: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. In a warm roasting pan, heat the butter and oil. Season the hens with salt and pepper to taste and sear till browned all over.
  5. Place, breast-side down in the pan and roast for approximately 12 to 14 min. Check for doneness by seeing if juices run clear when bird is tipped. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 min.
  6. Plate hens alongside of the dressing and serve with the relish.
