Pom Glazed Cornish Game Hen
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.
Rotisserie Asian-Style Cornish Game Hens
If your rotisserie is not large enough to hold four hens just prepare three! Plan ahead the hens need to marinade for a minimum of 5 hours.
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.
Crispy Fried Cornish Game Hens (Tapaka)
This is one of my favorite ways of having Cornish Game Hens. Georgians (Russian, NOT USA) have a special flair for cooking chicken. They grill or roast them (with delicately spiced walnut sauces); they fry them under a press; and they stew them with a sauce of herbs, tomatoes, and lemon juice. All of these methods make the serving of chicken in Russia memoriable. The name tapaka comes from the heavy iron skillet (tapa) with its weighted lid, under which the marinated chicken is flattened and then fried. This forms a crisp, golden crust. This recipe makes one serving so increase the ingredients to accomodate as many guests as you may have.
