ROTISSERIE BBQ CORNISH GAME HENS RECIPE - FOOD.COM

Rotisserie BBQ Cornish Game Hens Recipe - Food.com image

This is a recipe I use when I am in the mood for BBQ Cornish hens (or about a 3 pound chicken)without firing up my grill or smoker. I have one of those Toaster Ovens that have a rotisserie built into them. I simply rub the hens (or chicken) down with the rub, set the timer to 60 minutes and the temperature to Max and if I wanted to, walk away. But instead, I like to baste my birds so they turn out moist and flavorful. The combination of the rub (Very Spicy) and the "mop" (Very sweet) reminds me of a girl I once knew - oops! Another story!! The apple juice is a great addition to a mop because it is not an overpowering flavor, and adds sweetness to the meat. This recipe works well in a sprayer, but can also be brushed on. Shake well each time before spraying. Both the rub and the mop can be used on the grill (Gas or charcoal)

Total Time 2 hours

Prep Time 30 minutes

Cook Time 1 hours 30 minutes

Yield 1-2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

2 Cornish hens (or one 3 pound chicken)
1/4 cup salt
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons white pepper
1 tablespoon garlic salt
1 tablespoon paprika (Hot Hungarian best)
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon red pepper
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
3 cups apple juice
1 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup cider vinegar

Steps:

For a G.E. Countertop Oven with Rotisserie:.
Combine all the ingredients of the rub. Use on poultry: lightly brush bird with olive oil, then rub spice mixture over and under the skin. Let marinade for up to 12 hours.
Warning: Do Not reuse leftover rub or marinade after it has been applied to meat or poultry; it may contain harmful bacteria.
Use a baking twine to secure the bird(s) legs and wings to keep from flopping around as the rotisserie is turning.
Position a rotisserie fork at the opposite end of the spit from where the point is located and secure into position using the thumbscrews.
Thread the spit through the bird(s) cavity and secure the fork into the meat of the bird.
Place the second fork onto the spit and secure into the meat.
Insert the pointed end of the spit into the rotisserie motor and the other end into the support.
Place the drip pan in the oven in the lowest position to catch the drippings.
Turn the timer to the Stay on position (I set mine to 60 minutes then to 30 minutes so I have to check on the birds). Allow to cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
For the mop:.
Mix all ingredients in a pot, and heat over med/low for 20 minutes.
Let the mop cool before placing in a sprayer.
Moisten the birds by spraying the mop onto them about every 20 to 30 minutes during cooking.
Birds are done when juices run clear and the legs separate from the birds easily.

CHEF JOHN'S GRILLED GAME HENS | ALLRECIPES

The idea for these grilled game hens is borrowed from my highly successful Cornell chicken experiments, and uses a similar acid/salt/oil/egg concoction. This time the part of egg is played by mayo. Needless to say, you can season this a million ways and use any combination of hot chilies, but the little kick the habanero adds is really nice.

Cook hens on the preheated grill, turning occasionally, until skin is crisped, meat is no longer pink at the bone, and juices run clear, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

BRICKYARD BARBECUED GAME HENS RECIPE BY ROBYN - COOKEATSHARE

I found this fantastic grilled game hen recipe in Mario Batali's "Mario Tailgates NASCAR Style" cookbook published in 2006. These game hens are grilled under a foil wrapped brick Tuscan style or Pollo al Mattone. Then the herb pesto rub makes them tastier, so try to let the birds marinate overnight before cooking. "As for "hot bricks," the August race at the Brickyard at Indy is exceptionally hot, perhaps the hottest of the year -- hence, hot bricks."

The night before cooking, in a medium boil, mix the ingredients for the rub together. Place the birds skin-side down on a clean work surface and rub the inside of each with 2 tablespoons of the rub mix. Turn the birds skin-side up and do the same thing. Place the rubbed birds in a large bowl or container, seal and keep cold in a refrigerator or ice-filled cooler overnight or up to 2 days. When you are ready to cook the birds, prepare enough coals for a medium-hot fire. Arrange the coals so one side of the grill gets hot and the other side medium. If using a gas grill, set one side to hot and the other to medium. Heat the foil-wrapped bricks on the hot side of grill for 10 minutes. While the bricks are heating, remove the birds from the container and brush them all over with olive oil. Place the birds skin-side down on the hot side of the grill and place a heated brick on top of each bird. Do not move the birds for a full 8 minutes, unless a flame-up occurs. (If this happens, cover the grill briefly to smother.) Turn the birds skin-side up and cook for 10 minutes more under the heated brick over the hot side of the grill, then move them to the medium side and cook 10 minutes more. Turn the birds skin-side down, place back on the hot side under brick and cook 5 minutes. Turn them skin-side up and cook 5 minutes more. The birds are done when a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 170°F. Remove the birds to a platter and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with lemon wedges and rosemary sprigs; serve. To Split Chicken: Lay it on a cutting board breast-side up with the legs pointing toward you. Using a large knife, cut along each side of the backbone, cutting from the front to rear. Remove the backbone, then flip the chicken over so it is skin-side down. Now you can split the chicken in half by cutting through the breast bone/cartilage. After splitting the chickens, be sure to thoroughly clean the work surface with soap and hot water. Cook's Tip: Grill lemon wedges 2 - 5 minutes until light golden brown for extra flair.
