Crockpot Hoisin Cornish Game Hens Recipes

SLOW COOKER CORNISH HENS

Steps:

• Coat the hens with about 1/4 of the mushroom soup.
• Mix the remaining mushroom soup with mushrooms, olives, zucchini, and garlic salt in a bowl. Stuff the mixture inside the hens. Arrange hens, breast sides up, in the slow cooker. Spoon any remaining soup mixture over the hens.
• Cook the hens in the slow cooker on High for 4 hours.

CROCKPOT HOISIN CORNISH GAME HENS

Steps:

• 1. Mix each of the sauces into a small bowl along with the ginger and zest.
• 2. Place Cornish Hens into crock pot set on high heat
• 3. Pour sauce over hens and cover for about 3 hours, basting and turning hens every so often.
• 4. Serve! I paired this with a basmati rice I'd sauteed in garlic and butter before cooking in chicken broth. Then I added scallions to the rice to finish.

HOISIN-GLAZED CORNISH HEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a very deep pot, bring enough oil to fill the pot by 2/3 of the way. Heat the oil to 350 degrees F.
• Add the hen slowly to the oil and fry for 8 to 10 minutes on each side until golden brown and have reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
• Remove the hen from the oil and drain on a paper towel.
• Whisk together in a large bowl, the hoisin, honey, red pepper flakes, and the scallions. Brush mixture over the cooked hen on both sides and reserve the extra sauce for dipping.
• Place in oven for about 7 minutes. Take out. Flip over and brush reserved hoisin sauce on flipped side. Place in oven for another 7 minutes.

• Remove hens from refrigerator, and brush with 1/2 cup hoisin. Roast 35 to 40 minutes, basting occasionally with extra hoisin. Remove from oven, and serve hot.

• Pour chicken broth and 1/3 cup lemon juice into a slow cooker.
• Place about 1 tablespoon chilled margarine in the cavity of each hen; place hens in the slow cooker. Arrange the remaining margarine cubes in the chicken broth mixture.

CROCKPOT CORNISH GAME HEN

Steps:

• 1. Mix seasonings, BBQ sauce and honey mustard. Place frozen cornish game hen(s) in crockpot or slow cooker. Brush BBQ mixture over all game hen. Cook on low for about 4 - 5 hours, or until tender. Brush with more BBQ sauce at the end of cooking. This is enough sauce for 2 game hens, if you choose to cook that many. Place under oven broiler for a few minutes, if desired. Variations: Use only salt and pepper on game hen; cover well with lemon pepper; use cajun seasoning and cover game hen well. Use your own favorite seasonings.
