I went online and bought the Rotisserie pictured, it is much bigger than what I need but I could not pass it up. I made 32 hens! These are truly the best IF you have a ROTISSERIE that works well and maintains the exact temp when cooking. You can use this recipe also for whole chicken,goose,duck,turkey or even boneless pork loin. Ingredients:
1 -2 cornish hen |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/2 teaspoon onion powder |
1/4 teaspoon paprika |
1/4 teaspoon lavender |
1/4 teaspoon basil |
1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary |
1/8 teaspoon dried oregano |
1/8 teaspoon dried savory |
1/8 teaspoon dried thyme |
1 bay leaf, crumbled |
1/8 teaspoon coriander |
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves |
Directions:
1. Wash the hens under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel. Mix all the spices together and rub the outside of the hen making sure it is coated with the spice very well. Slide the hens on to the the rod and secure with cotton string around the end of the legs and wings.
2. If you have a rotisserie, set temp to 350 or on the medium setting. Cook hens 30-40 or until temp reaches 170 in the thigh area . Let set for 5-7 minutes before serving.
3. You can also use your oven set at 350,I have found it works the best if you can set the hens on a small rack inside a roasting pan ans baste the last 15 minutes.
