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)

This recipe says you can complement this dish with a Tomato Salad. I found this recipe at a Estate Sale. I have not tried this recipe, but I’m posting it for safe keeping.

Cornish Game Hens With Grapes in Vermouth

From the *Best Ever Chicken* cookbook edited by Linda Fraser — Per the intro, “This is a rather special dish that is ideal to serve when entertaining.” Boy, do I ever agree w/that & this is such an easy fix too! *Enjoy* !

Pistachio Crusted Cornish Game Hens

A plump juicy game hen crusted with pistachios and parmesan cheese. I like to stuff mine with Stovetop sourdough bread stuffing as well. I’ve noticed that when stuffed, the birds stay much more moist.
