This is a recipe I found in a magazine a few years back and it never disappoints! I usually use this for dinner parties because it can be prepared ahead of time and takes very little effort. This calls for Cornish Game Hens but I always use mixed pieces of chicken with the skin on! Just watch because the chicken breasts cook faster than the dark meat. I never alter the ingredients but I do marinate it for at least 4 hours or longer. I serve this with garlic-mashed potatoes and broccoli!! Oh- don’t forget the last step with the reserve marinade! Enjoy!!
Originating in Cornwall, the Cornish pasty is sold all over the UK, in supermarkets, bakers, and pubs – it’s the perfect take-out (or, as they say there, take-away) food. This recipe was published by the Vegetarian Society for National Vegetarian Week 2006, and I’m passing it on to Zaar for our 6th World Tour! Enjoy, and remember to pronounce with a long ‘a’ in ‘pastie’, like ‘fast’, which is how they’ll be devoured 😉
I took Aida Mollenkamp’s recipe for Garam Masala Chicken with Roasted Vegetables and changed it to suit my purposes (using cornish hens, etc). I also reduced the oil simply because I didn’t think that amount was necessary. For this recipe it’s really important to have a probe thermometer that can stay in the hens while they’re in the oven. After a few changes, this ended up delicious! Hope you like it too.
Got this on a card – right before Easter. Timing is everything! If the glaze tastes too tart I plan to add an equal amount of reduced orange juice with plenty of orange zest.
This is a recipe from an old home economics cook book, but it’s one I love to make. It is great served with wild rice. Make sure hen is tender before adding honey mixture or the meat will burn. The recipe is for one Cornish Hen, but I couldn’t get the software to accept it the way I tried to enter it.
