I tried out my Weber Rotisserie last night on a pair of Cornish Game Hens. I stuffed the hens with a few lemon wedges and some sweet onion chunks. I also made a couple Cajun Crab Stuffed Baked Potatoes and rounded things out with a Weber recipe, Grilled Broccoli with toasted bread crumbs and Parmesan. The game hens came out fantastic, nice and moist. The Mad Hunky Hot Wang rub is delicious. Nice heat, but not knock your socks off heat. Rich does have a rub in that category, his Hot *** Wang, if you're interested. I have some of that too, but saving it for a bigger cook. Most of my prep pictures for the potatoes didn't come out due to operator error, which I won't divulge, under any circumstances, unless it involves cash, lots of cash. Here are my pic's.
The potato recipe called for a little bacon, so I grilled five slices of Farmland Bacon and chopped it into bits after draining thoroughly. Sorry about the glare on the pan.
The stuffing whose ingredients were shown on the missing pictures consisted of one six oz. can of crab meat, one tsp of Cajun seasoning (I used Paul Prudhomme's Blackened Redfish Magic), 2 tbs butter, 1/4 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup milk, 1/2 cup cheddar, 1/2 tsp each garlic powder, onion powder and cayenne. I basted Tsang's Stir Fry oil on each potato before wrapping it in foil This stuff is fantastic, if you've never tried it. Here's the potatoes on for an hour.
While the potatoes were cooking, I prepped the hens with some EVOO and the Mad Hunkey rub. As mentioned above added some lemon and onion for some extra flavor.
Got the hens on the rotisserie for the maiden voyage. Cooked for right around an hour.
While the hens were cooking, I got the potatoes stuffed and ready to go.
Birds were pulled right about an hour.
The broccoli, bread crumbs and parmesan ( I used Parmigiano-Reggiano) are just about done.
Potatoes bubbling hot.
Ready to eat. One plate.
Meal plated.
Well, that's about it. The rotisserie performed well and the hens were delicious. As for the potato, we both love heat and I nearly doubled the Cajun seasoning and was generous on my half teaspoon of cayenne. The potatoes were HOT. Very nice, but we both agreed that it dominated the taste to the point you could barely taste the crab. Next time I'll sacrifice a little heat for more of a balanced flavor. The broccoli came out great, just like any other Weber recipe I've ever tried. Thanks for looking. Have a great weekend.
