Ingredients:
- to taste vegetable shortening (for deep-frying )
- to taste oil (for deep-frying )
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper, freshly ground
- to taste lemon , wedges (for serving)
Directions:
- Don't fill your stockpot more than half full with shortening/oil, to allow for the inevitable boiling up when the hens are added.
- Also, be sure the hens are at room temperature so the fat temperature doesn't drop dramatically from the shock of an ice-cold bird.
- Rinse the hens and pat completely dry, inside and out, with paper towels. Let stand at room temperature for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Place a large wire cake rack over a jelly roll pan/cookie sheet.
- In a stockpot, melt vegetable shortening over high heat to a depth of 2 to 3 inches and heat it to 375 degrees F.
- Carefully put 1 Cornish hen in the hot shortening. Deep fry, turning occasionally, until golden brown.
