Provided by Sharon123

Categories     Chicken

Time 50m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 Cornish hen (1 1/2-pound)
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon dijon-style mustard
2 tablespoons mustard seeds
1/2 teaspoon crumbled dried rosemary
1 -2 garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup chicken broth

Steps:

  • Remove the backbone from the hen with poultry shears or a sharp knife, place the hen, skin side up, on a work surface, and press down the breastbone to flatten the hen.
  • In an ovenproof skillet roast the hen, skin side up, in a preheated 450°F oven for 10 minutes.
  • While the hen is roasting, in a small bowl whisk together the oil, the mustard, rosemary, the garlic, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Remove the hen from the oven, spread the mustard mixture over the skin, and roast the hen for 15 minutes.
  • Transfer the hen to a preheated broiler and broil it about 4 inches from the heat for 2-3 minutes. Now put the mustard seed in with the mustard mixture and broil for 2-3 more minutes(this is so the mustard seeds won't burn).
  • Transfer the hen to a platter and keep it warm.
  • To the skillet add the wine and boil the mixture over high heat until it is reduced by half. Add the broth, boil the mixture for 1 minute, scraping up and brown bits, and add any juices that have accumulated on the platter. Strain the sauce through a fine sieve onto 2 plates. Cut the hen in half with a sharp knife, and arrange each half on top of the sauce.
  • Serve and enjoy!

HERBED MUSTARD CORNISH GAME HENS



Herbed Mustard Cornish Game Hens image

These hens are great hot off the grill but they, I think, taste even better cold. I have a gas grill, so my grilling directions are kind of geared toward that type of equipment. Charcoal can be used, of course, just use an indirect method by moving the coals to the edges and placing the hens in the middle. Marinade time is 2-3 hours.

Categories     Poultry

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 (1 1/4 lb) Cornish hens
3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 1/2 teaspoons dried rosemary
3 -4 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Wash the hens inside and out under cold running water and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Combine the marinade ingredients and pour into a 1-gallon plastic zip-loc bag (or other container, whatever you want). Place the hens in the marinade, smush them around so they're coated well, and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours, or overnight.
  • Preheat the grill with all burners on high, for 10 minutes and the lid down.
  • While the grill is preheating, drain the marinade into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil for 2 minutes then remove from the heat and set aside for basting.
  • Once the grill is hot, turn off the center burner and turn the other burners to medium. Place the hens, breast side up, over the center of the grill (or over the unlit burners or over the part of the charcoal grill where the coals have been cleared). Close the lid and cook until the juices run clear when the thickest part of the meat is pierced with the tip of a sharp knife (I shoot for where the thigh is attached), about 1 hour. Turn the birds about every 15-20 minutes and baste with the hot boiled marinade. Serve hot off the grill or cool to room temp and refrigerate for a picnic.

5 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
2 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
3 1 1/2-pound Cornish game hens
1 1/2 cups canned chicken broth
1 cup low-fat mayonnaise

ROASTED CORNISH HENS WITH HONEY MUSTARD GLAZE



Roasted Cornish Hens With Honey Mustard Glaze image

The original recipe came from "The 21 Cookbook: Recipes and Lore from New York's Fabled Restaurant" by Michael Lomonaco and Donna Forsman. I found the cooking time given was insufficient and the recipe made enough glaze for eight hens, never mind four! Obviously, I will be using the changes I made to the recipe. The end result was a big hit with my family and guests, though!

Categories     Chicken

Time 1h10m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup stone ground dijon mustard
1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Season the hens inside and out with salt and pepper.
  • Place equal portions of bay leaves, garlic, thyme and chili flakes inside the cavity of each hen.
  • Brush the hens with oil.
  • Place, breast side down, on a rack in a roasting pan.
  • Cover and roast in a preheated 375 degree F oven for 40 minutes. Check at this point to see if the leg pulls away easily from the body and the meat is no longer pink. If still pink, roast for another 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the honey, mustard, vinegar, cumin and cilantro in a bowl.
  • Brush over the hens.
  • Roast uncovered for another 10 minutes to brown the glaze.
