2 Cornish game hens brined for 6 hours using a recipe I found here. I followed this recipe, except
for putting them in the oven, I used the rotisserie.


Hens were tied, inserted on the spit rod and glazed with the apple cider mustard glaze.


Put onto the OTS, using B&B lump charcoal.


Zucchini seasoned with garlic pepper and will be coated with Creole butter. Corn is ready to get
a bath of Creole butter.


Last basting of the apple cider mustard glaze. I was basting the birds every 10 to 15 minutes.
Thighs are at 160 internal at this time, almost done.


Hens are done! Put under a foil tent until the rest of dinner is done.


Wrapped corn and zucchini on.


Corn and zucchini are done.


Plated with homemade Mac n Cheese.


I’d be lying if I didn’t say that this was the tastiest, juiciest and tender game hen that I have cooked.
It had just the right amount of spicy apple flavor and a slight oak flavor from the lump charcoal.
Everything else was delicious too!

Thanks for looking!

Mike as always your doing it right!!
I showed my wife the cooks you have done on the rotisserie. Hopefully she can budget for this accessory I want. Nice job.
 
Awesome looking birds......I'm guessing they tasted as good as they looked...................................d

Mike, my wife just saw me looking at this and now I am apparently "charged" with making these. Be prepared for some PM's. :)

Anytime Rolf! The only thing I did different from the recipe link I posted was to cook it on the grill using the roti! But feel free to question away! :)

Gene, game hens usually come in the frozen section of your meat area in the store. They are cheap, but dang good eating. Easy to fix, easier to eat! ;)
 
beautiful baby birds Mike!!

how "cheap" are they Mike? Up here, CH's go for 5 to 6 bucks each. That ain't cheap (or cheep) to me.
