Slow Cooker Cornish Hens in Mole Sauce

With the Christmas holiday so close I didn’t want to do a turkey so I thought I’d try something different. I love the taste of Cornish Hens and with the Mole sauce it was really tasty. I have a 7 quart slow cooker and it was just the right size for this dish. As per DH’s request, I used a lot of coco powder in my mole sauce but you can use less.

Grilled Cornish Game Hens & Eggplant Stuffing

Cornish hen grilled and placed with eggplant dressing. ****You can sub the eggplant with oysters just don’t add salt to the stuffing.You can also use wild mushrooms. I spice up the hens with creole seasonings.

Rotisserie BBQ Cornish Game Hens

This is a recipe I use when I am in the mood for BBQ Cornish hens (or about a 3 pound chicken)without firing up my grill or smoker. I have one of those Toaster Ovens that have a rotisserie built into them. I simply rub the hens (or chicken) down with the rub, set the timer to 60 minutes and the temperature to Max and if I wanted to, walk away. But instead, I like to baste my birds so they turn out moist and flavorful. The combination of the rub (Very Spicy) and the “mop” (Very sweet) reminds me of a girl I once knew – oops! Another story!! The apple juice is a great addition to a mop because it is not an overpowering flavor, and adds sweetness to the meat. This recipe works well in a sprayer, but can also be brushed on. Shake well each time before spraying. Both the rub and the mop can be used on the grill (Gas or charcoal)
