Stuffed Cornish Hen Update

[troymeister]

HawkerXPEdF I had never done Cornish Hens on the grill before. This is what I came up with: I lightly stuffed the birds with pre cooked Minnesota Wild Rice and Sautéed Mushrooms. Trussed and put on SnS with more or less high heat. Pulled off at 170.

Pan sauce: Shallots, garlic, white wine, the last of heirloom tomatoes, chicken stock reduced by 1/3.

While Hens were resting I grilled the Asparagus.

I'm gonna say, I will do this again. My wife did tell me that if we were younger, this would be a baby making dish...lol....

troymeister , I know this thread is a few months old, but do you remember how you prepared the birds? Your final product looked amazing and I want to try doing a Cornish hen for my wife. Personally, I will be eating Prime Rib for Christmas, but my wife doesn’t care for it and I want to make her something special for dinner, too.

All I did was dry brine the birds for a few hours and seasoned with some S&G. Then I lightly stuffed the birds with pre cooked Minnesota Wild Rice and Sautéed Mushrooms. Trussed and put on SnS with more or less high heat. Pulled off at 170.

I had a recipe something like this that was great. Remember, anything you can do in the kitchen you can do outside on the cookers. https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/...d-cornish-hens
