Spiced Apple Cider Brined Game Hens on the Roti

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! :)
 
Mike that ones over the fence and never coming back! Awesome man! I've never had game hens before but those look dang good my friend.

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.
