Mashed sweet potatoes and sautéed green beans make colorful companions. Key lime pie is a refreshing way to wrap up. Taken from Top 20 quick and easy from 2000. I added the brining step to suit my tastes.
This game hen will make you feel like you are celebrating a holiday, but it is a bird to enjoy any time of the year.
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!!
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.
