Place hens, breast side down in a large greased baking pan. Baste with the melted butter and bake for 15 minutes. Turn the hens breast side up and continue to bake another 15 minutes basting frequently. Lower temperature to 375', turn the hens again and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven, drain juices from the pan and stir into the mango sauce. Turn hens breast side up and baste with mango sauce. Bake for another 5-7 minutes or until they are golden brown. Serve with extra slices of mango as garnish.
