CHEF JOHN'S GRILLED GAME HENS | ALLRECIPES



Chef John's Grilled Game Hens | Allrecipes image

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.

Total Time 3 hours 55 minutes

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 45 minutes

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 jalapeno pepper, seeded
1 habanero pepper, seeded
4 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 teaspoons salt
2 Cornish game hens, halved lengthwise
1 pinch salt to taste

Steps:

  • Blend jalapeno pepper, habanero pepper, garlic, vegetable oil, sherry vinegar, mayonnaise, and 2 teaspoons salt together in a blender until marinade is smooth.
  • Place halved hens in a large bowl. Pour marinade over the chickens and turn to coat completely. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 3 hours.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Remove hens from marinade, shaking off any excess, place hens on a plate, skin-side up. Discard remaining marinade. Season skin-side of hens with salt.
  • 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).
