From Food For Thought, Favorite Recipes of Morristown-Beard School. There is salt listed as an ingredient (to taste) but remember soy sauce is quite salty! Goes well with rice. Marination is from 2-12 hours and is not included in prep or cook time.
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.
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!!
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.
