Sage and Lemon Cornish Game Hen

NOTE: Make at least 12 hours in advance. This only makes one hen (2 servings), but if you need more, you can double it, etc. We had this for Thanksgiving dinner. It was less expensive and less filling than turkey… and it didn’t make us sleepy after dinner 😉

Grilled Cornish Game Hens With Pesto

Another fabulous recipe from Mary Nell Reck’s weekly cooking lesson in the Houston Post. This one came out in February of 1989 and is a recipe from Johnny Carrabba, chef and owner of Carrabba’s Restaurant here in Houston, way back when there was only the original restaurant. The Cornish hens may be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to grill.

Roasted Cornish Game Hens With Sesame-Ginger Sauce

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!!
