SUNNY'S GRILLED CORNISH HENS AND VEGGIES CHEAT SHEET
Steps:
- Preheat the oven or grill for cooking on indirect heat at 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with nonstick aluminum foil.
- Combine the baby carrots, honey, olive oil, Italian seasoning, Brussels sprouts, potatoes, lemon zest, salt, pepper and juice of 1/2 lemon in a large bowl. Toss to coat and distribute evenly around the edges of the lined baking sheet.
- Place the hens in the middle of the baking sheet. Brush each hen with olive oil all over, then sprinkle with salt, pepper and Hungarian paprika to taste. Stuff each hen with the rosemary and thyme.
- Place the baking sheet on the center rack of the oven or above the indirect heat of the grill. Roast until the hens reach an internal temperature of 155 degrees F and the veggies are caramelized, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from the grill or oven and allow the hens to rest until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 5 minutes. Spritz with juice from the remaining lemon half before serving.
SPATCHCOCKED CORNISH HEN WITH MASHED POTATOES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Combine the garlic powder, pimenton, rosemary and lemon zest in a small bowl. Toast the coriander and cumin seeds in a small pan until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Combine the toasted seeds with the other spices and grind in a spice grinder.
- Season the game hen with salt and crushed red pepper.
- Heat the olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over high heat. Sear the hen, skin-side down, adjusting the heat as necessary. Place the brick on top of the hen and cook until evenly browned. Remove the brick and flip the hen. Rub some of the spice mixture onto the skin side. Flip the hen over and rub some of the spice mixture onto the back side. Roast in the oven, skin-side down, for 15 minutes. Flip the hen skin-side up and continue to roast until the skin is crispy and the internal temperature is 165 degrees F, about 15 minutes more. Let rest.
- Serve drizzled with olive oil, with Mashed Potatoes on the side.
- Place the potatoes and garlic in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and heavily season the cooking water with salt. Turn down the heat and simmer until the potatoes are fork tender; drain. Pass the potatoes through a food mill into a bowl.
- Meanwhile, bring the cream to a simmer in a small saucepan. Add 1/4 cup of the heated cream and the cold butter to the potatoes and stir vigorously. Add more cream and butter as needed. Season with salt.
ROCK CORNISH HEN CACCIATORE WITH SPAGHETTI
Cacciatori in Italian means "Hunter Style". Typically Chicken or Rabbit is fried and browned slightly and removed from the pan to which tomatoes, other veggies and seasonings are added and cooked until done. Then the meat is added back to pan and slow cooked and stewed in the sauces for 40 to 60 minutes. Pan covered or not. Typically served with pasta on the side. In my recent "Rock Cornish Hen with Wild Rice" recipe I mentioned the versatility of this small bird. I originally seasoned it so slightly that any number of twists can be applied. This is an excellent example, and the outcome produces one of my very, very favorite meals. The pairing of Chicken and Spaghetti. I did say versatile -- Top the hen with Provolone or Mozzarella Cheese, a sprinkle of Parmesan and melt and you have "Chicken Parmigiana". Served with Spaghetti and sauce of course. Versatile -- Indeed. Need more versatility -- Greek style it with additional Lemon Juice, Greek Seasoning, and some extra Oregano and Thyme. Pair it with a Greek Salad, and another Feast Awaits. Another twist -- Barbecue Sauce. 'nough said?

Steps:
- Rinse Rock Cornish Hen and with breast up divide hen in half. I use kitchen shears cut through breast then fold flat and cut hen in half.
- Lightly salt and pepper hen and place in large frying with 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil added. Just saute until slightly browned on both sides. You could prepare the hens in advance and bake as I did for my Rock Cornish Hen with Wild Rice, which see. Then rewarm the hens in the sauce.
- Cook spaghetti until done with a little salt added to water. I prepare large batches of spaghetti and then freeze in meal sized portions. I then just nuke with additional water when needed.
- SAUCE: Remove hen from pan and add all sauce ingredients except the water and grated cheese. Medium low simmer for 15 minutes to cook veggies.
- Add hens back to pan and medium low simmer for 40 to 60 minutes, covered or uncovered. Spoon sauce over hens occasionally. Add a little water at times to keep sauce moist.
- Plate and serve. I added some chopped Green Onion tops to garnish. Provide grated Parmesan or Romano Cheese to top, some Garlic Bread, and serve with a nice glass of Chianti Wine. Ciao
