I love Cornish Game Hens. They are delicious and affordable. When prepared properly, they also leave an impression on those lucky enough to share your table.
For years, I followed my mother's example and roasted the birds. That was before I grilled them. Now I wouldn't do it any other way. This recipe is simple but oh so delicicous and the result and light, juicy, and very, very tasty. A perfect summer supper!
What's In It:
2 Cornish Game Hens
1 bottle of your favorite vinegar-based salad dressing (I use everything from Italian dressing to Ginger Sesame)
1 bottle Fischer & Wieser Mango Ginger Habanero Sauce
How To Make It:
Split game hens in half. (Discard innards, if packed inside.)
Rinse birds under cold, running water. Pat dry with paper towels.
Place birds in marinator (You can find these in the plastics section of any department store for less than $10.00.) or shallow baking dish.
Pour salad dressing over hens and cover. (When using a marinator, I usually flip the dish several times to coat meat.) Refrigerate 30 minutes to 2 hours.
Place hens on preheated grill, skin side up. Close lid, venting slightly.
Hens should cook a total of 45 minutes on a slow grill. About 30 minutes in, begin basting with the Fischer & Weiser sauce, turning at least once to ensure a caramelized coating on both sides.
