Place hens on a rack in a shallow baking pan. Tie legs with kitchen string if desired. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Combine butter, juice, Granny M's Mandarin Orange Glaze, and honey. Spoon mixture over hens. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until a meat thermometer reads 165 degrees and juices run clear, basting every 15 minutes.
