Steps:

1. Clean hens with salt and water, then put aside for the hen to dry.

 
2. In the meantime, prep the ingredients to be stuffed into the hen. Cut orange slices, slice onions, and peel garlic. Wash thyme, rosemary and lemon leaves.

4. In a bowl combine salt, pepper, fish sauce, chili flakes and mix together. Pat dry your hens. Using your hands, rub the seasoning on the hen's skin.
5. Now it is time to stuff the inside of the hen. Put the oranges, onions, whole garlic knob, thyme, rosemary, lemon leaves and marinate. I marinated for 2 hours.

 
6. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F. Lay the hens on foiled tray and bake for 20 minutes.
7. Flip the hen the other side and cook for another 20 minutes. At this time, add the halved brussels sprouts.
8. Now pull the hens out a little and brush the hen's skin with honey and bake for another 5 minutes per side or until yellow.
