Cornish Game Hens With Madeira and Cream Sauce

From Simca’s Cuisine. This recipe says it serves 6 and it calls for 3 hens. I like to serve 1 hen per person so for me this recipe would serve only 3. I haven’t tried this yet but I love the way it sounds and the preperation is simple.

Cornish Game Hens in Vermouth

A simple yet impressive dish. Low in sodium and calories, this is great for people who are on a restricted diet, yet still want to indulge their gourmet cravings. From Southern Living, February 1986.

Herbed Mustard Cornish Game Hens

These hens are great hot off the grill but they, I think, taste even better cold. I have a gas grill, so my grilling directions are kind of geared toward that type of equipment. Charcoal can be used, of course, just use an indirect method by moving the coals to the edges and placing the hens in the middle. Marinade time is 2-3 hours.

Smoked Cornish Game Hens

For a luscious poultry treat, smoked Cornish game hens can’t be beat. These little birds are richly flavored, juicy and smoke like a charm. In my opinion, a smoked game hen beats smoked chicken every time. To add flavor, the game hens are marinated in a basic brine containing apple juice, herbs and spices. Slow smoking with apple, cherry or peach wood gives these little birds a light smoky flavor. If you are a fan of smoked poultry, these smoked Cornish game hens will be something to cheer about. Juicy, tender and full of flavor, they will become an all time favorite.
