    Method: 

    Combine soy, sherry, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, Szechuan pepper and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Place the hens in a large bowl or a large zip-close bag and pour the marinade over them. Toss to coat and refrigerate at least 2 hours or up to 1 day.

    Preheat the oven to 400°F. Heat canola oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Remove hens from marinade; discard marinade. Add hens to the skillet and brown on both sides, about 8 minutes. Place hens skin-side up and place the skillet in the oven. Bake until the hens are cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. Sprinkle with green onions and serve.
