CORNISH GAME HEN: SPATCHCOCK HEN
Steps:
- Preheat a panini press on high.
- Place the game hen breast side down on a cutting board. Using scissors or poultry shears, cut from the neck to the tailbone to remove the backbone. Once you remove the backbone you will be able to see the inside of the bird. Make a small slit in the cartilage at the base of the breastbone to reveal the keel bone. Grab the bird with both hands on the ribs and open up like a book, facing down towards the cutting board. Remove the keel bone. Cut small slits in the skin of the bird behind the legs and tuck the drumsticks into them in order to hold them in place. Season on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Spray the bottom of the panini press with the nonstick cooking spray. Place the bird, skin side up onto the press, pray the skin side with non-stick cooking spray and close the lid. Top the press with a 10-pound weight and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until the skin is golden brown.
- Allow to rest 3 minutes before serving.

- Pat the Cornish hens dry and tuck the pointed ends in under the birds (see 1st picture in step by step above). If you like, you can just lay a few slices of bacon over the hens to cover but to do a lattice pattern follow steps below.
- For bacon lattice - Lay a piece of bacon across one of the Cornish hens tucking one end under the wing and the other over the opposite leg. Place another piece over the top exactly opposite (see 2nd picture above). Fold back the first piece then place another slice under it alongside the second piece (see 3rd picture). Fold back the first piece on top. Lay another piece over the 1st piece, parallel to the piece you just put down, then lift up the end of the first piece to put another slice under (probably starting under the leg), parallel again. Trim the ends of the slices so they can just tuck under into the cavity, apart from the first two you put on which rest along the legs. Now lift alternate pieces of the parallel slices of bacon that have the first slice of bacon over the top and lay another piece parallel to the first piece (see 5th and 6th photo). Put these two pieces back down and fold back the alternate pieces to put another slice in parallel, then once again with the opposi
- Transfer the bacon wrapped Cornish hens to a shallow baking sheet/dish with a rack in the bottom. Place the vegetables around the edge and drizzle with a little salt and olive oil.

- Place one game hen breast-side down on a cutting board. Using kitchen shears, cut from the neck to the tailbone to remove the backbone. Once you remove the backbone, you will be able to see the inside of the bird. Make a small slit in the cartilage at the base of the breastbone to reveal the keel bone. Grab the bird with both hands on the ribs and open up like a book, facing down towards the cutting board. Remove the keel bone. Cut small slits in the skin of the bird behind the legs and tuck the drumsticks into them in order to hold them in place. Season on both sides with salt and pepper. Repeat with second hen.
- Fry the bacon in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Once crisp, remove the bacon from the skillet and reserve. Drain all but 1 tablespoon of fat from the pan. Immediately add the two birds to the pan, skin-side down. Add the onions to the pan around the edges. Top the birds with the brick and allow to remain on the heat for 5 minutes. Place the pan into the oven and cook until the thigh meat reaches 170ºF, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow the bird to rest for 5 minutes before serving with the onions and bacon.
