SKILLET ROASTED GAME HENS W/FINGERLINGS AND SPROUTS



Skillet Roasted Game Hens W/Fingerlings and Sprouts image

I took inspiration from "My Man's Belly" blog and fine-tuned her recipe to my liking. No less than a 12" cast iron skillet is required (14" is even better). You can take this into any direction you desire by the type of seasoning blend (with salt included) you use. Alternately, you can use fresh herbs finishing off with salt and pepper. Lastly, the sprouts are a wonderful addition, but for those that can't stand them, though I have not tested it, I would imagine using all fingerlings would be fine.

Time 20m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 (1 1/2 lb) Cornish hens, thawed, rinsed and patted dry inside and out
1/2 lb fingerling potatoes or 1/2 lb assorted fingerling potato
3/4 lb Brussels sprout, thick ends trimmed, loose outer leaves removed and cut in half
3 slices thick cut bacon, chopped (or cut with kitchen shears)
2 garlic cloves, sliced thin
2 tablespoons seasoning, blend (Creole, Mediterranean, Herbs de Provence, Lemon Pepper etc. amt. to taste)
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees with cast iron skillet in the oven while it's pre-heating.
  • To prepare the hens, gently pull the legs out and away from the body so that they become dis-jointed and lie flat on either side of the body.
  • Rub 1/2 tablespoon olive oil all over each hen. Sprinke each with seasoning blend to taste outside and inside the cavity; set aside.
  • Wash the potatoes and toss them into a bowl with about 1/2″ of water. Cover and cook for 2 minutes on high in the microwave. Discard water and set aside.
  • Remove the pan from the hot oven and drop bacon pieces onto one half of the pan.
  • Place the chickens into the other half of the pan, breast up. Make sure to place the legs and thighs flat against the bottom of the pan. Put the skillet back into the oven and cook for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the oven, brush breasts with a few dabs of the bacon drippings. To the pan add the potatoes and garlic slices over 1/2 of the bacon pieces and the brussels sprouts over the other half of the bacon pieces. Toss the potatoes and brussel sprouts with the bacon pieces to coat them in some of the fat.
  • Put the pan back into the oven and lower the heat to 350 degrees. Continue to cook for 45-50 minutes longer or until the juices from the legs and thighs run clear when pierced.
  • Serve with pan juices.

ROASTED GAME HEN WITH ROOT VEGETABLES



Roasted Game Hen with Root Vegetables image

Instead of the usual roast chicken, why not give game hen the oven treatment? It cooks way faster, and the pan juices make a delicious sauce when combined with Dijon, lemon juice, capers, and fresh tarragon.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 Cornish game hen (1 3/4 pounds), trimmed of excess fat
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 medium carrots, peeled and quartered lengthwise
1/2 small celery root, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch matchsticks
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, plus more for serving
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons capers in brine, drained and coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees with racks in top and bottom. Place hen, breast-side down, on a work surface. Using kitchen shears, cut along both sides of backbone to remove. Flip over; split lengthwise with a heavy knife. Pat dry; season with salt and pepper. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss vegetables with 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Transfer sheet to bottom rack of oven.
  • In an ovenproof skillet, heat remaining oil over medium-high. Add hen, skin-side down; cook until browned, about 3 minutes. Flip; transfer skillet to top rack of oven. Roast, stirring vegetables once, until golden, and a thermometer inserted into thickest part of hen thigh reads 165 degrees, 18 to 20 minutes for hen, and 25 to 28 minutes for vegetables. Transfer hen and vegetables to a platter. Return skillet to medium heat; whisk in mustard, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon water, and capers. Cook until reduced slightly, about 1 minute. Stir in tarragon; spoon over vegetables. Serve, with more mustard.

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
Salt
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 game hens, about 1 and 1/2 pounds each, split in half
4 small peeled garlic cloves
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet, over medium heat for about 2 minutes or until almost smoking. Add the game hens, skin side down, and saute for 5 minutes or until golden. With tongs, turn the hens over, add the garlic and saute for another 5 minutes.
  • Add the vinegar and broth which will bubble up, then the thyme and rosemary. Cover and simmer, over low heat, for 25 to 30 minutes or until the juices run clear, not rosy, when the thigh is pricked with a fork. Transfer the hens to a plate. Stir the mustard into the juices in the skillet and boil down furiously, until 1/2 cup of liquid remains, scraping the brown cooking particles into the sauce. Season with salt and pepper, spoon over the hens and serve immediately.
