Grilled Cornish Hens With Habanero Glaze
Description
This British sauce features Cornish Hens, per person. The flavors come together beautifully. A reliable recipe that works well for everyday cooking. Simple to make with ingredients you likely already have on hand, this is a recipe you will come back to again and again.Ingredients
Directions
-
Fresh or thawed if frozen 1 sm Jar of Lime Marmalade (recommend the British Versions) 1 2 Habaneros,seeded and Julienned, the thinner the Better 1 Stripped rind (Green part Only!) from a lime Olive oil Tequila, rum, sherry or -water-use only enough to -slightly dilute if glaze -is too thick.
-
On a kettle type grill pile the readied coals about the side of the grill.
-
Oil lightly the poultry and place in the middle of the grill with clear space about them.
-
Cover the grill for 5 minutes and cook the poultry without the glaze.
-
While they cook mix the marmalade, chile, lime spritz and liquid of choice.
-
If you heat this up in microwave or on stovetop it will be easier to work with.
-
Using basting brush to stir and apply with.
-
Uncover the C.H.'s and baste with sauce.
-
Continue to cover,grill-bake, uncover and baste, and repeat until the birds are done.
-
I won't say a time since grills and conditions vary but only cook until done.
-
If the glaze gets too brown or charred it does not taste as good, either, so definately watch this as it cooks.
-
and as we say here in Kentucky 'cornish hens is jes' a lil' chicken' (for which we pay a premium price!).
-
I would guess that this glaze would work well with almost any poultry except the stronger flavoured ones like mallard or turkey.
-
This dish can be done in a 350 degree oven, too.
