Poochie Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 I used olive oil and salt and pepper on these. Cooked them at 350 and cranked it to 450 for the last 10 minutes. I haven't bought these in a long time and they were moist but it needs something to kick up the flavor. Next time I brine them at least 2 days and that should slap some flavor sense into them.

CeramicChef Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Poochie - that's a great cook! I love those single serving birds. They are always a wonderful entré at a party. Beautiful money shot. Kudos! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DennisLinkletter Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Cornish Game Hens are rarely available here.. Last time I bought and cooked 4 of them. I had them sitting on the kitchen table when the doorbell rang.. came back and discovered my Akita had eaten all four! They looked great and from the satisfied look on my dog's face tasted great too.. Nice birds did you cook them to 160º with about a 10º float up after pulling them?

Poochie Posted September 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Yep, pulled at 160 but didn't monitor the temperature after that. They "settled" about 25 minutes, so I'm sure the temps went up. I usually put a foil tent over meat that's sitting and waiting to be devoured. Your KitKat and Akita get along? I'll be he didn't share any Cornish Game Hen with the kitty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeramicChef Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Priceless story, Dennis! I'd have paid money to watch that caper. And I bet the look on your face was every bit as priceless as the look on your Akita's face! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckreef Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Nice Cornish Game Hens. It's been a while since I cooked some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Glad my two pooches are too short to reach the counter! But, I have to be careful with food on the dinner table if it's too close to the edge - Kipper has a long tongue for a small pooch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Poochie, the Cornish Hens looks great. One of these days I'm going to do one or two of them. I've been thinking about it for quite some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poochie Posted September 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 Give it a try MacKenzie. Cook them like little chickens. You may want to brine them for more flavorful birds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 Thanks for that tip, Poochie:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
