Cornish Hens With Honey-Ginger Sauce Recipe
Cornish Hens With Honey-Ginger Sauce
Ingredients
- 8 Cornish hens, about 625 g (1-¼ Lb) each
- ½ cup (125 mL) olive oil
- 3 tbsp (45 mL) grated fresh gingerroot
- ¼ cup (50 mL) soy sauce
- ½ cup (125 mL) honey
- ¼ cup (50 mL) mirin or dry sherry
- 1 tsp (5 mL) hot pepper sauce (optional)
- ½ cup (125 mL) chopped fresh coriander
Preparation
Stand each hen on the counter, breast facing left. Use a knife to cut along the backbone of each hen. Rotate each hen and cut along other side of backbone. Cut each hen in half, lengthwise. Reserve bones for making broth or discard.
Combine oil, ginger and soy and blend well. Brush over halved hens and marinate for at least two hours. Line grill with heavy duty foil and preheat to medium. Stir honey with mirin, hot pepper sauce and coriander.
Remove hens from marinade and discard juices. Grease foil and place hens bone-side down on grill. Brush with glaze. Cover and grill for 30 minutes, brushing often with glaze. Turn, skin-side-down and grill for 5 minutes longer or until internal temperature on an instant-read thermometer registers 170F (77C).
