These are cooked on the grill. This is fun because it allows everyone to have both dark and white meat. :)
Ingredients:
1/2 cup apple jelly
1/2 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon vinegar
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
4 cornish hens, 1 to 1/4 lbs each, split
Directions:
1. Combine the first 4 ingredients in a small saucepan; stir well. Cook over medium heat until the jelly melts, stirring constantly. Remove sauce from the heat; keep warm.
2. Combine the salt, garlic powder, and 1/2 tsp chili powder, stirring well. Sprinkle over the cornish hens.
3. Grill over medium coals for 45 minutes; turn occasionally.
4. Baste with the sauce and grill an additional 15 minutes. Turn and baste frequently with the remaining sauce. Let stand 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.
